About us
Bosman Van Zaal is your one-stop-shop partner for turnkey horticultural projects.
History
Our history started in 1921 with the establishment of Bosman Greenhouses in Aalsmeer, where we developed greenhouse structures made of wood, steel, and aluminum. In 1968, Frans van Zaal founded a heating and cooling installation company in a neighboring town, forging a close partnership.
In 1988, we expanded our core activities to include water and electrical installations, and in 2014, we ventured into robotics. This marked the point at which the entities Bosman and Van Zaal came together under a single owner. We relocated to a new headquarters in 2018. And in 2021, we started a software startup.
