't Achterhuis is a well known name when it comes to old and antique construction material. According to the history of its origins, founder Lambert van Alebeek was a baker whose clients paid their debts in construction antiques and old construction material. In 1965 Lambert started collecting this construction material and selling it on as a hobby. Seven years later he turned it into his profession. In the meantime, the company is kept churning by 15 employees, primarily within the family. Through the years, they managed to buy different parcels for the expansion of their storage space, the showrooms and the workshops.
