About us

Henk and Truus Wesseling, living at the Houtrakkerweg 13 in Halfweg, make kitchen tables and kitchen chairs. Because this is done at home, the metalworking is usually carried out in front of the house. If one day a Physiotherapy student passes by and asks if it is possible that Henk makes a table with which he can work, the first seed is planted. He indicates that there are no proper treatment tables for his branche.

Henk Wesseling makes a table that fully matches the wishes of the client and thus the first Wesseling table is a fact. When the physiotherapist has finished his education, he decides not only to become a physiotherapist, but also as a seller of treatment and examination tables.

The first intercontinental deliveries are a fact a few years later. Through a brochure from the embassy Wesseling BV comes into contact with a company in New Zealand whose owner happens to be Dutch. After a number of calls, the first orders are placed. The orders came in by post because the fax did not exist yet. If the post was not an option, there was called once in exceptional cases. However, there was an egg timer next to the phone to keep track of the time and thus the costs.

Physiotherapy is still in its infancy in the 1980s and there is a great need for equipment. Almost weekly new models are created and made to meet the growing demand.

In order to not only meet the quality but also the quantity, the building on the Venenweg was opened in 1989. At that time a modern location with all the facilities that the growing company needs. An automatic sawing machine is purchased and also a welding robot. This allows production at a faster rate. The company has also been provided with a fax, and of course computers. As you can see, this has been a long time ago. Also a showroom was be opened at the new location to showcase all products. Users can compare and test the wide variety of products here.
