Ninth Location for Dubbeldam Through Acquisition of Van den Born in Waalwijk

For over 185 years, Van den Born Carrosserie in Waalwijk has been a family-owned business dedicated to quality and innovation. What once began as a traditional body shop has grown into a specialist in commercial vehicle customization and technical modifications, with vehicles tailored precisely to the customer’s daily work. Every year, more than a thousand commercial vehicles pass through the workshop at Zijlweg 14, ranging from equipped service vehicles and dump trucks to specialized vehicles for water boards, municipalities, the national government, and various fleet owners. With in-house engineering, in-house product development, and an experienced team of over 50 professionals, Van den Born has built a strong reputation.

Effective immediately, Van den Born is now part of Dubbeldam Truck & Techniek. For customers and partners, little will change: the same team, the same workshop, and the same trusted contacts. Mark van den Born will continue to serve as managing director, overseeing day-to-day operations to ensure continuity and maintain our established way of working.

With the acquisition of Van den Born, Dubbeldam Truck & Techniek is expanding to nine locations. This allows us to offer customers a single point of contact for their entire fleet: from light commercial vehicles to heavy-duty vehicles, such as trucks and buses.

Marco van der Velden, managing director of Dubbeldam Truck & Techniek, explains: “With Van den Born, we’re bringing on board a company with experienced professionals. Their expertise in commercial vehicle bodywork and engineering strongly complements our areas of specialization. We aim to be the first choice when the market needs collision repair, vehicle bodywork, hydraulics, and service. We achieve this by bringing together companies that reinforce each other’s strengths. This allows us to offer customers more—from a specific modification to a fully customized commercial vehicle.”

In Waalwijk, too, we are looking ahead with confidence. This partnership provides Van den Born with the structure and network needed to continue growing, while maintaining its familiar way of working.

We warmly welcome all our colleagues in Waalwijk to Dubbeldam and look forward to continuing to build, together, a strong nationwide network of technical specialists.
