Who are we

Who are we

Van den Broek Biljarts has been in existence since 1956. For 60 years, we were located in the Pijp area of Amsterdam. Van den Broek Biljarts originally started as a billiard factory where we built our own billiards, from tree to table. With more than 800 table billiards per year and over 60 competition billiards, we have built a rich history and expertise in the billiard world.

Since January 1, 2017, we have been located in Almere, at Bolderweg 37 A/B Almere-Buiten (De Vaart). In 1999, I, Remco Tolsma, took over the company from Cees van den Broek, who ran the billiard business for many years with his wife. I have been involved with the company since my birth, and we see Van den Broek Biljarts as a family business.

Together with Dave Rooij and Stephan Gest, we strive to serve our customers as best as possible. Our greatest advantage is that the lines are short. Everyone within our team has knowledge of the products we supply, and we aim to help our customers in the best possible way.

We are certainly not Bol.com or Amazon. Therefore, we check every web order to ensure that the products ordered match each other. If we notice anything strange in the order, we call our customers. This may result in a slightly longer delivery time than expected nowadays, but every product goes through our hands, and that's our strength.

We rely on our excellent service. Every customer is unique, and we treat our customers with the utmost attention and respect. If you are not familiar with the product you want to purchase, feel free to contact us. No question is too much or too strange for us.

You are always welcome to visit our store/showroom. The coffee is ready, and we give the right advice to every customer. You can use the billiards (for example, to try out cues) and our foosball tables.

You can also wait for most cue repairs at our store. We have our own turning shop where we professionally repair cues.

Our motto: "Impossible does not exist."

Best regards,

Remco Tolsma

Who We Are

Van den Broek Biljarts has been around since 1956. For sixty years, we were based in the heart of Amsterdam, in the neighborhood De Pijp. Originally a traditional billiard table factory, we built our own tables — from tree to table. With over 800 home billiard tables and more than 60 competition tables produced annually, we’ve built a solid reputation in the billiards world.

Since January 1st, 2017, we’ve been located in Almere, at Bolderweg 37 A/B in Almere-Buiten (De Vaart). In 1999, I, Remco Tolsma, took over the business from Cees van den Broek, who had run the company for many years together with his wife. I’ve been involved in the business since birth, and to us, Van den Broek Biljarts still feels like a true family company.

I don’t run the company alone. Dave Rooij, my trusted right and left hand, plays an essential role in our team. He knows every detail about our products, helps with every customer inquiry, and is often the first point of contact. Dave is not only my support system but also a skilled professional with a deep passion for the craft. Together, we make sure everything runs smoothly.

We're also proud to have Stephan Gest as a valued colleague. With the three of us, we combine experience, craftsmanship, and personal service to support our customers in the best way possible. Our small, dedicated team means short lines of communication and quick responses. Everyone here knows what they’re talking about — literally.

We’re not Bol.com or Amazon — and that’s a conscious choice. Every online order is personally checked. We make sure the selected products match, and if something seems off, we call our customers to verify. This level of care may slightly delay delivery times, but it ensures that every product is handled with personal attention — and that’s our strength.

Our service is what we rely on. Every customer is unique, and we treat you as such — with care, patience, and respect. Not very familiar with the product you’re ordering? Feel free to call or email us. No question is too much or too strange for us.

Of course, you’re always welcome in our shop and showroom. The coffee is ready, and we take the time to give you proper advice. You can test cues on one of our billiard tables, or play a game of table football.

Many cue repairs can be done while you wait. We have our own in-house turning workshop where we carry out professional repairs.

Our motto: “Impossible doesn’t exist.”
