VonWood

Every week our CEO David De Jong shares a market update with interesting news and trends:

Today a new article was published on Startups Magazine about how digitalisation is transforming the construction and timber industry. David De Jong was asked about his insights on this topic as a start-up CEO in this industry. It is a slow process as we have seen in the past few years, but the balance is tilting and we expect the momentup to pick up. We are honoured to be mentioned in the latest publication by Startups Magazine and invite you to read the whole article in the link below. #innovation #structuraltimber #timbertrade #startups #digitalisation https://lnkd.in/eT5d5uZ5

Innovation is at the heart of what we do and bringing change to an industry as old as the timber industry does not come easy. That's why it's crucial that companies like VonWood are able to learn and participate in programs such as Techleap by Rise. We are honoured to be highlighted on the platform and aim to continue our vision for innovation.

🏡🌲 Bouwen met Hout: De Toekomst van Duurzaam Wonen! 🌲🏡 In een recent artikel op Cobouw worden de sterke H1 resultaten van BAM tegen het licht gehouden. De omzet steeg en de vraag naar woningen blijft onverminderd groot. Een opvallende ontwikkeling is de focus op industriële productie van houten woningen. In Schaarwoude opent binnenkort een nieuwe fabriek die vanaf volgend jaar dagelijks één houten woning kan produceren, met een maximale capaciteit van duizend woningen per jaar. Hout biedt tal van voordelen voor de bouwsector. Als hernieuwbare grondstof is het een milieuvriendelijke keuze, wat bijdraagt aan de duurzaamheid van bouwprojecten. Hoewel hout niet per se goedkoper of duurder is dan beton, biedt het een competitieve en flexibele bouwoptie met grote duurzaamheidsvoordelen. Een grote uitdaging blijft echter het verkrijgen van bouwvergunningen. Hier ligt een kans voor beleidsmakers om de procedures te versnellen en zo de woningbouw te stimuleren. Met de huidige groei in woningvraag en de toenemende voorkeur voor duurzame bouwmaterialen, is de toekomst voor houten woningen veelbelovend en dit ziet BAM duidelijk ook. Innovaties en investeringen in de houtsector kunnen bijdragen aan het behalen van de ambitieuze woningbouwdoelen van Nederland. BAM toont hiermee niet alleen veerkracht, maar ook een vooruitstrevende visie op duurzaam bouwen. Dit is ook hard nodig om te bouwen aan een groene en duurzame toekomst! 🌱🔨 https://lnkd.in/e8DfJK45 #DuurzaamBouwen #HoutenWoningen #BAM #Woningmarkt #ToekomstVanBouwen #cobouw

Yesterday a featured article came online on the website of Business Age about the changes that are happening in the timber industry and the journey of VonWood and its CEO - David De Jong in this transformation. As he points out, digital transformation is already in full swing in many other industries across the world, but these changes are yet to really take place in the timber industry. Read about the role that VonWood is taking in shaking up the market in the article! https://lnkd.in/eMmx4iZD

We often share information about the timber market, the marketplace, or events and awards, but behind the VonWood platform is a strong team of people who are doing their best every day to improve the way timber is traded in the world today. This week we celebrated this with a BBQ hosted by our CEO David De Jong. As David states in his post Tom Carpenter took the stage and entertained the team with his great voice 🎤. In business and even more so in B2B the human factor is what makes it work. #teamwork #teamcelebration #companyculture #timber #innovation
