About our family business

From barn to Fulfillment company for Fashion. On November 16, 1945, dry cleaning Hartevelt was founded in a shed behind the house of grandfather and grandmother Hartevelt in Zeist. Grandpa went to the farmer to collect dry goods from people’s homes and grandma made sure that the clothes could be delivered clean again. Grandpa Hartevelt (founder) died at a young age and the company was continued by his son Hans Hartevelt and his mother. Hans Hartevelt 2nd generation has expanded the company and made it big. From the small shed in Zeist to Bilthoven, then the Strijkviertel in De Meern and from 1989 on the Molensteijn in the Meern where we are still located. A reconditioning company has been set up from the dry cleaners. This business unit is involved in blowing and tunneling clothing so that it can be hung into the shops without packaging folds. Hélène Hartevelt as the 3rd generation has taken over the company from her father. Over the years, the family business has changed considerably and we have grown into a fulfillment company for the fashion industry. What sets us apart is that we can offer a total package and solve confection problems internally. It is therefore clear that we are and want to remain a family business, especially now that the fourth generation wants to continue the company.
