Timeline.
Start selling scaffolding castors
With already a good network within the scaffolding industry, One for Wheels was founded and got off to a quick start. Initially, sales were mainly directed to professionals in scaffolding in the traditional way. The range has grown steadily over the years.
Castors added to assortment
Customers were happy about the service provided so started to ask for other products. Soon Castors were added to the range. Production capacity was extended.
Launch webshop
In the early years of the company, a new way of selling was introduced into the business; E-commerce. At the time, it started as a small sales channel, but a very interesting platform due to its reach. So that's why the first webshop wielenoutlet.nl was opened. The website soon became known in the market as supplier of high-quality wheels for a very competitive price.
New factory and warehouse
With the growth in turnover, there was also a need for a new warehouse. In 2012 a new building with additional 1.500 m2 storage capacity was purchased, which provided much more room for growth. That year, sales nearly doubled, so the team expanded too. This provided the foundation for growth in the following years.
Growth assortment
With the extra space created, more customers could be served. This also led to a significant expansion of the range. Now with the production of +400 different wheels and 95% stock keeping, we have grown into one of the leading wheel specialists in the Netherlands.
Launch Germany
The first steps across the border were in Germany. In addition to a German store (Lenkrollenshop.de), the account management and customer service team were also expanded with German-speaking wheel specialists. The store was an immediate success, as the specialism and ease that One for Wheels brought to the market with their e-commerce platform was very well received by our German clients. Soon other countries would follow.
New Generation
Now that the business has evolved and E-commerce is in the company's root, Jan decided to hand over the business to a newer generation of entrepreneurs. The company is now ready for the next step into the future...
