Meet Our Partner - KeyPro Furnishing

As an international there are a lot of steps to figure out in order to make your dream of working and living in the Netherlands a reality. It can be overwhelming to try and decipher the Dutch system and to know who to turn to for help. Although our focus at Undutchables is on helping you find a job, we know that getting established in the Netherlands involves more than just landing a great new position. That's why we have teamed up with some great companies that can assist you with the other steps of the process. We interviewed one of our partners this week and want to give you a chance to get to know them and learn about their services as well, so without further ado, let us introduce our housing and relocation services partner - KeyPro Furnishing.

1. What is KeyPro Furnishing?

KeyPro B.V. is an innovative company, founded in 2011 by Willem Straat. We are a young and dynamic business specializing in furniture rental, real estate styling, project furnishing, and furniture sales. With a strong focus on sustainability and the circular economy, we ensure that furniture gets a second (or even third) life. Our product-market combination is rock-solid: we serve multinationals, expats, housing corporations, municipalities, and even television productions.

What makes us unique is that we carefully select or develop our furniture for long-term use. We ensure it lasts as long as possible. If necessary, we refurbish it ourselves, so that it is as good as new. By offering high-quality, circular furniture as a service instead of as ownership, we’ve taken a unique position in the market. This not only makes us distinctive but also future-proof.

We maintain our own stock and logistics capacity, allowing us to deliver quickly and flexibly. With a team of 30 passionate professionals, we ensure that every customer is seamlessly taken care of. KeyPro has been active in the market for several years and has established itself as a reliable partner for both large and small projects.

2. Why do you do what you do?

At KeyPro, we believe in a world where furniture gets a second or even third life. Did you know, for example, that approximately 247 million kilos of furniture are thrown away in the Netherlands every year? This waste often ends up on the waste mountain and is largely incinerated, which has a significant CO2 impact due to the combustion of materials such as plastic. And in the meantime, the flow of furniture production continues, which also has a large ecological footprint. But now imagine: a world where ownership makes way for use. A world where sustainability is not just a trend, but the norm. This is the future that KeyPro is building.

Our mission is therefore to contribute to a circular future by reusing furniture instead of buying new. Our vision is to create a future in which the sharing economy is central and sustainability is the norm. We are building a platform that should become the "Bol.com of furniture rental", a place where both business and private customers can put together their entire interior at the touch of a button.

3. Which products/services do you offer?

We offer a wide range of services in the field of furniture rental and home furnishing, with the aim of creating fully furnished, comfortable temporary living and working spaces. Our offer goes beyond just supplying furniture. We provide complete turnkey solutions, where we arrange everything: from furniture and upholstery to bedding, kitchen supplies, and appliances. In addition, we offer extra services such as transport, assembly, cleaning, key transfer, and even connecting TV and internet. This allows our customers to be completely unburdened during relocation and we ensure that residents can feel at home immediately.

4. What is the current market like in your industry?

The furniture rental and circular economy market is growing rapidly, especially as sustainability gains more attention. Companies and individuals are looking for flexible and sustainable solutions for their furnishing needs. More and more people and companies are choosing not to own, but to share and rent resources. This is especially true in sectors such as temporary housing for expats, housing corporations, and renovation projects, where flexibility and cost savings are of great importance.

5. What are your unique selling points for the international community?

What makes KeyPro unique is our combination of complete care, sustainability, and flexibility. Where many competitors only focus on supplying furniture, KeyPro offers a complete turnkey solution. We take care of everything, from furnishing to installing equipment, and offer all kinds of additional services.

Our fast deliveries and maximum flexibility are another strong point. With branches in Amsterdam, Groningen and Rotterdam, we can deliver throughout the Netherlands and Western Europe, often faster than our competitors.

Finally, KeyPro offers unparalleled aftercare and service, where we arrange replacement or repairs within 24 hours, something that is not self-evident with many competitors. All this makes us the ideal partner for international customers who are looking for carefree and sustainable living solutions.

6. What has been your most memorable moment working with internationals?

One of our most memorable moments was furnishing an entire home from top to bottom for an expat family who had just moved to the Netherlands. We made sure their home was fully furnished within a few days, just in time for their arrival. The gratitude and enthusiasm of the family gave us a huge sense of satisfaction. This moment reminds us why we do what we do: helping people feel at home, no matter where they come from.

7. Do you have any industry tips for our readers?

Choose a partner who can help you create a ‘home’. Moving to another country can be stressful enough, so renting furniture instead of buying it can save you a lot of time and effort. No stress about buying or selling furniture when you leave. This also means that you don’t have to worry about any repairs or replacements during your rental period, allowing you to focus on your work and new life abroad.
