The supplier of your fence

The fences of Privaconstand everywhere

About us

Much has happened since Eric Jans and Maikel Elst decided to set up a fencing company in 1999.
Perseverance, creativity and healthy horse sense have led to Privacon Hekwerken becoming a successful manufacturer of fencing.

Privacon Hekwerken is successful because we:
  - see our customer as a partner;
  - putting the real need of our customer at the central;
  - have employees involved;
  - have a flat structure with responsibilities low in the organization;
  - steer on the basis of trust and result;
  - we continuously monitor the production process, which gives an up-to-date insight into the performance of the organization;
  - we strive for an 'open family' culture, where all employees know their contribution;
  - have inspiring entrepreneurs as a figurehead;
  - say what we do and do what we say
