Special Auctions

 

The collaboration between Troostwijk Auctions and CNB from Lisse is a prime example of how mutual trust and a shared vision can lead to successful auctions. Both parties are committed to organizing the most profitable equipment auctions for their clients, and this dedication is paying off.

 

Arjan Averink from Troostwijk Auctions emphasizes the importance of this long-term partnership: “Our relationship is based on mutual trust, the intention to work together for an extended period, and organizing beautiful and profitable auctions for our clients.” Together with Ronald Walkier, who is responsible for all auctions within CNB, he forms a strong team connecting the worlds of flower bulbs and material auctions.

 

Thanks to the right culture, in-depth market knowledge, and a shared entrepreneurial spirit, the collaboration between Troostwijk Auctions and CNB Lisse works extremely pleasantly and effectively. This is reflected in the many successful auctions. In the upcoming period, auctions are scheduled at Nijenhuis Bloembollen from Espel and Bianca Flowers from Heerhugowaard. These auctions not only provide excellent returns for clients but also ensure a broad reach among buyers looking for quality equipment, machines, and related products.

 

The strength of this collaboration lies in the synergy between the two parties. The short lines of communication and strong relationship between Ronald Walkier and Arjan Averink enable quick action. Troostwijk Auctions brings expertise in digital auctions and market reach, while CNB Lisse is deeply rooted in the flower bulb sector with an extensive network. By combining these strengths, they can optimally support growers and traders in finding the right sales channels.

 

With a forward-looking approach, Troostwijk Auctions and CNB Lisse continue to focus on innovation and further growth. Their joint ambition is to make auctions even better, more efficient, and more attractive for both sellers and buyers. This collaboration model proves that the right partners, a shared vision, and mutual trust are key to sustainable success.

 

The most recent auction from Nijenhuis in Espel closed successfully with a total of 10,750 bids and a generated turnover of just over €1 million. The auction attracted more than 3,700 followers, with the highest bidders coming from the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Romania, and Slovenia. Items auctioned included tractors, implements, and processing machines for flower bulbs (cultivation on 180 cm) and potatoes (cultivation on 90 cm).
