About us

Moulding Challenges into Reality

Complex plastics challenges require more than just production capacity. They require knowledge, experience and a willingness to take responsibility. They require De Beer Plastics.

Our history

1951

On 1 August 1951, Friedrich Wilhelm Breidenbach set up a small turning and tool-making workshop in Gelnhausen to serve the regional rubber industry.

1953

On 1 December 1953, Jan de Beer Sr. set up an agency for a manufacturer of lead floor drains and siphons from his living room in The Hague. In 1957, De Beer moved to Hoevelaken, where the garage of the family home became the new hub of the business.

The 1960s and 1970s

F.W. Breidenbach GmbH & Co. KG moves to the nearby town of Linsengericht and begins processing soft PVC, a material that is undergoing rapid development and is increasingly becoming an alternative to traditional rubber. J. de Beer Agenturen BV expands its activities and develops into a supplier of technical components for the plumbing trade.

The 1980s

The injection moulding operations of F.W. Breidenbach GmbH & Co. KG continued to grow and, under the leadership of Wolfgang Breidenbach as the second generation, Breidenbach developed into a specialist supplier of soft components for sectors including the German toy and sanitary ware industries. In 1980, J. de Beer Agenturen BV outgrew the garage of the family home and built its first commercial premises in Barneveld. Shortly afterwards, the second generation took the helm and the company continued to grow under the leadership of Jan de Beer Jr. It was during this period that the relationship between De Beer and Breidenbach as client and supplier was established.

The 1990s

De Beer is dropping the term ‘Agenturen’ from its name because, over the years, it has evolved into a trading company with its own products. These products are manufactured by a number of loyal production partners, with Breidenbach emerging as its main supplier.

The 2000s

In the early 2000s, De Beer began to focus increasingly on its own products and expanded its operations into Germany through the acquisition of a fellow company in Wuppertal. Around 2005 and 2006, the third generation joined the company, with René and Mark de Beer respectively. At F.W. Breidenbach GmbH & Co. KG, there was no next generation ready to take over, and it was decided to sell the company to its long-standing customer De Beer with effect from 1 January 2006. This merger of two family businesses steeped in tradition forms the basis of what has become De Beer Plastics today.

2007

Opening of a second site in Linsengericht, where the mould-making division will have room to grow and the logistics operations will be based. De Beer Breidenbach’s customer portfolio is being expanded to include, amongst others, automotive suppliers and customers in the electrical engineering sector.

2009

The operations of Schneid GmbH in Gilching, near Munich, are being acquired and integrated into Linsengericht. This brings in-house expertise in high-performance plastics, as well as high-value customers in the high-tech engineering sector.

2020

De Beer is acquiring Beoplast GmbH in Langenfeld. Beoplast was founded in 1990 by Theo Besgen and has developed into a leading supplier, particularly to the automotive industry. His vision and efforts towards fully carbon-neutral and emission-free production were recognised in 2019 with the prestigious German Sustainability Award.

2021

Start of construction at Breidenbach. The two existing sites in Linsengericht are becoming too small to accommodate Breidenbach’s growth. In the summer of 2021, work will begin on the construction of a state-of-the-art, sustainable factory on a plot of over 23,000 m². By the end of 2022, the machinery and operations will be relocated to the new site.

2022

De Beer is acquiring All-in-Plast Kunststoffenindustrie BV and Produger BV in Oud-Beijerland. This move expands De Beer’s injection moulding operations into the Netherlands and adds a new area of expertise to the group: the manufacture of lenses and other transparent products.

2023

De Beer Beoplast has won the German Sustainability Award for the second time, once again confirming De Beer’s leading position in the field of sustainable plastics production.

2025

The operations of De Beer Beoplast, De Beer Breidenbach and Allinplast are being merged under the name De Beer Plastics. The companies will continue as a single entity, with three injection moulding sites and a head office in Veenendaal.

Challenge accepted.

Our approach can be summed up in two words: Challenge. Accepted. When a project is technically complex or places high demands on planning and quality, we work closely with the client to find the best solution. We analyse, calculate and test in close consultation until technology and practical application come together in a result that works.

Our DNA

De Beer started out as a trading company specialising in sanitary components. Driven by a desire to gain greater control over quality and delivery reliability, we took the step towards in-house production. What began as the manufacture of our own products grew into a specialised injection moulding operation. That combination of market knowledge and manufacturing expertise remains our foundation: we understand both the end application and the production process behind it.

Sustainable innovation

For us, sustainability and innovation are inextricably linked. We invest in energy-efficient machinery, optimise material usage and minimise waste streams wherever possible. Together with our customers, we seek out smart product designs that require less material or reduce the number of assembly steps. In this way, we not only improve processes, but also contribute to future-proof solutions for people, the market and the environment.

Working at De Beer Group

Working at De Beer means working in an organisation where technology and entrepreneurship come together. We offer opportunities for initiative, development and responsibility, within an environment characterised by short lines of communication and a down-to-earth approach. Whether you work in production, engineering, sales or logistics, you contribute to solutions that make a difference. Together, we deliver on our promises.
