Commercial agency · façades & timber construction

German façade and timber expertise, explained in your language.

RBT Benelux represents two German-speaking manufacturers in the Netherlands and Belgium: glued laminated timber for structure and façade, and steel and aluminium façade systems.

01Benelux

  1. Two German-speaking manufacturers.

    One specialist in glued laminated timber, one in steel and aluminium façade systems. Two materials, one shared standard of precision.

  2. One Dutch-speaking point of contact.

    RBT Benelux brings both to the Netherlands and Belgium — technically first, commercially second. You deal with one person who knows both materials.

  3. Projects from Groningen to Kortrijk.

    Local regulations, building practice and partners on both sides of the border, covered by one advisor who speaks the language of your drawings.

02Two materials, one story

Timber, steel — or both?

Whether you design in timber, steel or aluminium, or haven't decided yet, the conversation starts in the same place.

  1. Technical advice

    Advice on systems, details and feasibility before anything is priced. Conversations with architects and engineers take place at drawing level.

  2. One point of contact

    One Dutch-speaking contact for two manufacturers. No language barrier and no detours through head offices abroad.

  3. Active in NL & BE

    On site in the Netherlands and Belgium, familiar with local regulations, building practice and the parties involved.

05Approach

Three steps, from first sketch to delivery.

  1. Introduction

    A first conversation about your project, drawings and planning. Which material fits, and which manufacturer?

  2. Advice

    Technical review of details, systems and feasibility, in close contact with the manufacturer's engineering team.

  3. Quotation & support

    A clear quotation from the manufacturer, followed by support through production and delivery.
