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

Our milestones

As a result of the strongly growing demand for fencing, it is decided to move the production activities from Mill to Poland. A new production site is being built in Zławieś Wielka, near Torun.

From Business to Consumer to Business to Business

Privacon Hekwerken halts its sales and assembly activities on the end market and fully concentrates its sales and production activities for the benefit of professional fencing companies.

Our subsidiary Peripro Belgium will supply the local and national market in Belgium from the office with distribution center in the Greater Brussels region.

2019

Tube laser

A tube laser is added to the machine park to increase production capacity and guarantee our quality. This machine is able to produce semi-finished products of a gate, very quickly and precisely.

2020

Packaging department

To optimize the efficiency of packing and bundling the ready products, Privacon set up in 2020 a new packaging department.
By making this department organized and efficient, more products are better and faster ready for transport.

2021

Welding robot

Privacon Poland started to work with a welding robot to automate the production process. As a result, production capacity is increased, quality is guaranteed and personnel can be deployed more efficiently.

2023

Privacon North

Since 2023, we have taken a significant step towards Privacon’s continued growth with the establishment of Privacon North. This expansion strengthens our position in Northern Europe and enables us to serve our customers even better and more efficiently.

From our modern production sites and warehouses in both the Netherlands and Poland, we ensure reliable and fast delivery. Thanks to this strategic spread, we are able to provide optimal support to customers in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Privacon North stands for the same quality, service and commitment you have come to expect from us, but with a clear focus on the specific needs and requirements of the Northern European market. In this way, we continue to build lasting relationships and keep growing, together with our customers.

2024

Privacon Caribbean

In 2024, we further expanded our international growth with the establishment of Privacon Caribbean. We are seeing a sharp rise in demand for high-quality fencing and related solutions in the Caribbean region.

To respond to this effectively, we have opted for a strong local presence managed from Willemstad, Curaçao. From this central location, we can advise customers in the region even more effectively, respond more quickly and offer bespoke solutions that meet the specific circumstances and requirements of the market.

With this step, we are strengthening our global position and continuing to build sustainable partnerships, with quality, service and commitment always at the heart of what we do.
