From suppliers to advisor

Just the right ingredients to make the transition from an office equipment supplier to a total work environment designer. A step that we, as a family business, have all taken together. That’s why we’re happy to take a step back, at least in time.

2019

A new look

After a major rebranding, Leferink Office Works continues as Leferink. Over the years, Leferink Office Works has grown into a renowned partner in the field of furnishing: from design, planning and roll-out to the production of custom-made furniture. With this, Leferink coordinates the entire process to ensure customers are fully relieved of any worries.

1995

Growth

Leferink is in full development. For example, it puts the new premises on the Tolstraat into use. The office on the Industriestraat will remain open for some time for the sale of second-hand furniture. The new office offers many more possibilities: for example, there is space for training rooms for schools and other customers to acquire some computer knowledge.

Full service supplier

Around 1991, Leferink also started selling pens, papers and other office supplies and became a true full service supplier.

1981

Sale of the first computer

In 1981, Leferink sold its first computer. These are the years in which the sale of PCs is rather challenging given their exorbitant prices. Leferink organises three successful PC demo days in 1986, after which the limited company ‘Leferink Computersystems’ is established fairly quickly.

1973

Headquarters in Haaksbergen

Expansion of the product range
