Kersten BV

We are Kersten, a family business since 1969. Internationally operating wholesalers in trendy home accessories. What sets us apart from everyone else? We have an eye for trends, we do our own designing, we are great at sourcing and buying and we keep products in stock. But more than anything, it's because we are one big family. Relationships that go back many years, both on the purchasing and the customer side, are nothing unusual for us. But we don’t take anything for granted. We do everything we can to maintain close connections with suppliers and customers. We know the market, our customers and their requirements. Understanding their situation and providing input is second nature to us. It's just what we do. Some people might call it personal attention, but it’s what we call ‘normal’. Because only by working together, by understanding each other's formulas, each other's challenges, can we be successful.
