So much has changed, yet so much has not

Since 1913, traditional craftsmanship has been the benchmark for quality at Huiskamp Carrosseriefabriek. Where the funeral carriage once stood at the centre of our work, it has gradually been replaced by the hearse. With the introduction of new techniques and materials, our working methods have continued to develop over time. At the same time, our starting point has remained unchanged: to build vehicles that are dignified, functional and finished with attention to detail. This was the conviction of our founder, G.B. Huiskamp, and it remains the foundation of our work today.

100th anniversary in 2013

In 2013, we marked a century of craftsmanship. To commemorate our 100th anniversary, a film was produced that presents the development of Huiskamp Carrosseriefabriek from 1913 onwards. From the first carriages to today’s funeral vehicles, the film shows how craftsmanship, technical development and dedication have continued side by side. The past is not a conclusion, but a foundation for the future. The film was presented during the Huiskamp anniversary on 5 September 2013.

Looking ahead

With more than a century of experience, we have built not only a strong heritage, but also a solid foundation for the future. Three generations of the Huiskamp family led the company and laid the basis for its development in funeral vehicle construction. The families Bruntink and Legters continued this course, introducing expansions and modernisation of the factory.

Today, around forty specialists work on the development, maintenance and restoration of funeral vehicles, with quality and reliability at the forefront. In this way, we connect past, present and future.
