ABOUT KERSTEN
We are Kersten, a family business since 1969. Internationally operating wholesalers in trendy home accessories. What sets us apart from everyone else? We have an eye for trends, we do our own designing, we are great at sourcing and buying and we keep products in stock. But more than anything, it's because we are one big family.
Relationships that go back many years, both on the purchasing and the customer side, are nothing unusual for us. But we don’t take anything for granted. We do everything we can to maintain close connections with suppliers and customers.
We know the market, our customers and their requirements. Understanding their situation and providing input is second nature to us. It's just what we do. Some people might call it personal attention, but it’s what we call ‘normal’. Because only by working together, by understanding each other's formulas, each other's challenges, can we be successful.

Many years of experience - decades, in fact. Strong ties to our suppliers. Our own warehouse with lots of stock. A well-oiled supply chain and transport processes. All that translates into faster deliveries right to your shop. Not always the case in today's market! For us it's just what we do. We set higher targets. We help our customers create the perfect experience in their own shops. And most importantly, we do it together, from supplying product photography for your online store to providing input about styling. We’ll help with everything, we’re always there for you. Your success is our success.

Here at Kersten we are aware of our impact on the world. Sourcing and travelling all around the world; we need to offset that. First of all we aim for energy-neutral premises. Secondly we do everything we can to limit emissions. Thirdly we use energy from renewable resources whenever we can. And last but not least: the people all around the world who produce our beautiful products must be able to do so in good working conditions. That is extremely important to us. But in concrete terms, how exactly do we achieve all that? Read more about our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
