By Floris Toorenburg
Meeples board games and debordspelenwinkel.nl join forces to become a bigger player in the benelux games market. The two companies based in Dronten want to compete with the top providers in the market and give customers a special experience.
From 2 locations, Meeples supplies more than 10,000 games per year throughout the Benelux. With the merger, Meeples wants to grow into a major games specialist. With a location in Dronten and Nijmegen, Meeples ensures broad coverage across the Netherlands.
In the coming months, Meeples wants to innovate with new initiatives and techniques to renew the board games market. It will include self-published board games, a digital shop assistant and a business ordering site. Entrepreneur Floris Toorenburg said the following about it:
“When Rients-Auke and I first met, many similarities immediately emerged. I had a successful company but was looking around for new concepts. When Rients-Auke told me about his passion and the goals of Meeples, I was immediately enthusiastic. Our complimentary areas of expertise provide a great basis for Meeples to grow into a top player on the market. With Rients-Auke's expertise in the board game world and my experience in the field of marketing & sales, we are an ideal team!”
With this merger, Meeples will be able to grow into a stable player in the board games market in the coming years. We also want to expand the number of physical stores throughout the Netherlands and further deepen our range. With this we want to inspire even more people to play board games.
