A sustainable Automotive industry
We strive to be leaders in sustainability and the circular economy within the automotive industry, consistently exceeding European recycling targets. With the necessary certifications and accreditations in place, we continuously invest in the sustainable development of our team, fostering a mindset focused on eco-friendly practices.
Our commitment is to deliver effective solutions for the challenges of tomorrow, offering affordable mobility options within the automotive sector.
By working across a range of industries, we stay sharp, adopt new technologies, and maintain our focus on sustainability, innovation, and the cost-efficient sale of parts.
With our one-stop shop concept for our customers, we strive to offer a larger selection of auto parts and services at competitive prices while maximizing the environmental benefits of each vehicle we process. This helps minimize the carbon footprint.
We do this with great passion and dedication on a site spanning approximately 11 hectares, where we have our own Venyard, a unique concept in the Netherlands. At Van der Ven, 98% of old cars are reused with the help of our people, customers, and supply chain partners. We are proud of this achievement every day!
"Our approach creates benefits for both the consumer and the environment. This makes the company's methodology highly unique and simultaneously successful, resulting in significant growth for us at present."

Van der Ven Auto's: then and now
Back in time
Since 1979, we began by collecting scrap metal and gradually specialized in purchasing, collecting, and recycling end-of-life vehicles. Our beginnings were humble: we started as a traditional car dismantling yard on a lot filled with damaged vehicles, where customers removed their own parts. At that time, environmental and safety standards were far less stringent. Today, we are the market leader in sustainable car dismantling and high-quality auto recycling. And that’s just the beginning...
Anno now
Since 2005, we have systematically invested in the professionalization and automation of our organization. A new company building, along with an adjoining workshop and parts warehouse, was established at our original home base. Today, 150 enthusiastic, skilled, and knowledgeable employees contribute to our 'total concept for sustainable mobility.'
What we do
In addition to professional car dismantling, eco-friendly auto recycling, and being a leading supplier of original used car parts, Van der Ven Auto's is also involved in the buying and selling of used cars, as well as their import and export.
Corporate social responsibility
Corporate social responsibility is deeply embedded in our strategy and philosophy. Recycling is in our DNA, with a recycling rate of up to 97% for dismantled vehicles. We also advocate for cost-effective alternative repairs and preventive maintenance using used auto parts, serving both individuals and businesses, domestically and internationally.
