What 14,000 m² of Industrial Heritage Looks Like Today

The first thing most people notice when they arrive at Den Dubbelen 3 is that it doesn't look like a business park that was built to be a business park.

That's because it wasn't.

The structures here were built for a frozen vegetable factory that ran from the mid-1960s until 31 December 2010. Before that, the land was a working farm. The Ploegmakers family has been on this ground since 1936. What exists today is the result of nearly a century of decisions about how to keep this site in productive use — not a developer's vision of what an industrial complex should look like.

That history is visible the moment you arrive.

The site

Ploegmakers Park covers 14,000 m² at Den Dubbelen 3 in Eerde, on the southern edge of Veghel. The complex sits two to three minutes from the A50, with direct access to the N279. From the air, the scale of the site is immediately apparent — a substantial footprint of interconnected buildings, hardstanding, and parking, surrounded by the flat Noord-Brabant landscape.

The original farmhouse from the Ploegmakers family farm is still standing at the entrance to the complex. It is the oldest structure on the site and one of the most distinctive — brick construction, traditional Noord-Brabant architecture, completely intact. For businesses that spend their working days in generic industrial units on anonymous business parks, arriving at a site where a 1936 farmhouse is still in active use tends to leave an impression.

The warehouse units

The warehouse stock at Ploegmakers Park is a direct inheritance from the factory era. The buildings were constructed for industrial food processing — which means they were built to a standard that most modern light industrial developments don't match. Solid construction, serious footprint, ceiling heights that accommodate real equipment and racking rather than light storage only.

Warehouse unit R4 — currently available — covers 300 m² at ground level. It has a loading door for direct vehicle access, natural light, and a private entrance. The unit is part of the main factory structure, which means the build quality reflects the era in which it was constructed rather than the cost-cutting that characterises more recent industrial development.

For businesses in logistics, trade, light manufacturing, or any operation that moves goods regularly, the practical infrastructure at this site — ground-level access, loading doors, hardstanding for vehicles, on-site parking — is the kind that tends to be taken for granted until it isn't there.

The office units

The office stock sits within the same complex as the warehouses — which matters for businesses that have both an administrative and an operational side to their work. A number of current tenants at Ploegmakers Park use a combination of office and warehouse space within the same site, keeping both functions under one address rather than splitting them across two locations.

Office units start from 50 m². Ground floor. Natural light. Private entrance. The kind of specification that works for a small team, a sole trader who needs a proper business address, or a growing company that has outgrown co-working but isn't ready for a full floor.

The mix

Ploegmakers Park is not a themed campus. It is a working complex where businesses from different sectors operate alongside each other because the site offers what they need — practical space, a good address, and infrastructure that functions.

The tenant mix covers a range of trades and sectors. What they have in common is that they are businesses that make, move, or serve — the kind of practical, productive operations that have always been the backbone of a regional economy like Noord-Brabant's.

What stays the same

The new generation of the Ploegmakers family now manages the complex. The family connection to this ground runs from 1936 to the present day — nearly a century of continuous activity on the same site. That continuity is not something that gets built into a business park. It either exists or it doesn't.

At Den Dubbelen 3, it exists. And it shows.
