With plenty of sunshine and temperatures rising above 30°C, Holbox’s new facility in Roermond provided the perfect setting for a successful open house event. Customers, business partners, suppliers, employees, family members, and other guests came together not only to discover the new location, but also to celebrate the family company’s 50th anniversary.

During the event, visitors were given an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at an organization that has been developing innovative display, packaging, and in-store communication solutions for half a century. The strong turnout and enthusiastic feedback made the day a great success, highlighting the solid reputation and strong relationships that Holbox has built within the market and across its network over the years.

A look inside the world of Holbox

During the open house, visitors had the opportunity to explore Holbox’s new facility up close. Guided tours provided a step-by-step insight into the entire production process—from creative concept development and engineering to printing, cutting, assembly, and logistics. This gave visitors a clear understanding of how an initial idea is transformed into a high-quality display or packaging solution.

Many guests were impressed by the combination of technology, creativity, and craftsmanship behind every project. Employees from various departments took the time to explain their work and answer questions, giving visitors a valuable insight into the expertise and dedication that drive the organization.

Innovation as a Driving Force

One of the highlights of the day was the series of live demonstrations showcasing the innovative technologies used daily at Holbox. Visitors were introduced to autonomous forklifts from Jungheinrich, advanced printing and cutting solutions from Canon and Zünd, and high-end industrial printing technologies supplied by Wifac.

These demonstrations illustrated how innovation and automation contribute to a smarter and more efficient production process. By continuously investing in modern technologies and sustainable solutions, Holbox is able to provide its customers with high-quality products and reliable service. The new facility offers the ideal environment to support these ambitions and provides a solid foundation for further development and growth in the years ahead.

The 50th anniversary was a key highlight of the open house event. Holbox’s story began in 1976, when Jan Hol founded the family business and focused on the production of corrugated boxes. From these humble beginnings, Holbox grew into a leading player in the display and packaging industry. Just a few years after its founding, the company expanded into the production of cardboard displays—an activity that remains a core part of the business today.

Over the past five decades, Holbox has evolved into a versatile specialist with three strong divisions: Display, Packaging, and POS Packages. Despite this growth, the family company’s core values have remained unchanged. Commitment, flexibility, quality, and personal attention continue to form the foundation of its relationships with customers, suppliers, and business partners.

Today, the second generation is leading the company, building on its legacy from the new facility in Roermond. Guided by the same entrepreneurial spirit and passion that inspired its founding half a century ago, Holbox continues to invest in innovation, long-term partnerships, and sustainable growth.

Celebrating, connecting, and looking ahead

In addition to the inspiring demonstrations and comprehensive guided tours, the open house was above all about bringing people together. In a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, visitors enjoyed refreshments, shared memories, and engaged in meaningful conversations with customers, business partners, suppliers, employees, and family members.

For Holbox, this day represented much more than the opening of a new facility or the celebration of an anniversary. It was a special opportunity to recognize the people who have contributed to the success of the family business over the past fifty years. Employees, customers, suppliers, partners, and family members together form the foundation on which Holbox was built and continues to grow.

With the opening of its new facility in Roermond and the celebration of its 50th anniversary, Holbox marks not only an important milestone but also the beginning of a new chapter. Rooted in a rich history and driven by innovation, entrepreneurship, and collaboration, the company looks to the future with confidence.

We would like to thank everyone who joined us on this special occasion. Together, we will continue to build strong relationships, create new opportunities, and shape the future of Holbox.
