Our history
From Rotterdam ship suppliesto protection specialist
Our history begins in 1911 in Rotterdam shipping. Since then our name, our range and our organisation have changed. What remains is our attention to practice: knowing what customers need and making sure it is available.

1911: Our origins in Rotterdam
On 22 June 1911 De Rotterdamsche Victualiënhandel is founded. The company supplies the fleet of the Nederlandse Transport Maatschappij. This is where the history begins from which HACOM Trading later emerges.
02 / 07
1921: Continuing as Handelscompagnie
After the merger with B.F. Krantz & Co. the name Handelscompagnie emerges. The range broadens: from provisions and rope to engines and tarpaulins. The customer’s demand determines the trade.
03 / 07
1986: A department of its own for the trade
Within the Handelscompagnie the Trading department is set up. It focuses on supplying tarpaulins and lashing straps, among other things, to the trade. This gives our current specialisation an ever clearer shape.

1996: HACOM Trading gets its own name
In mid-1996 the Trading department is made independent and taken over by the German KMH Gruppe. Under the name HaCom Trading BV the company continues independently.

2002: Back in Dutch hands
Rehamij Nederland BV takes over HaCom Trading. The company is thus back in Dutch hands: a next step in our company history.

2010: Part of Puyoung Industry
In September 2010 HACOM Trading becomes part of the South Korean Puyoung Industry. As a producer of PE tarpaulins and scaffolding nets, this international company fits our specialisation in protecting and screening.

2018: A new location in Ridderkerk
In 2018 we rent new business and office space on the Keurmeesterstraat in Ridderkerk. With approximately 2,500 m² this location brings room for our stock and office activities together.

Today
Specialist for the trade
Today HACOM Trading supplies protection and screening materials to, among others, building wholesalers, DIY stores, hardware retailers, scaffolding contractors, agriculture and horticulture, and sailmakers.
With product knowledge, a wide range and delivery from stock we support customers across Europe. We do so under our own COVER brand and with private label: products under our customer’s brand.
Mentality
Rotterdam mentality
Acting down-to-earth. Thinking along practically.
Our history begins among the ships and the trade of Rotterdam. That origin fits how we want to work: with short lines, clear agreements and attention to what the customer needs.
We think along about the right materials, give clear advice and provide a practical solution. That is how we connect our Rotterdam roots with our customers’ daily practice.
