SCHOOLMEUBELEN:
A CONTEMPORARY
COMPLETE INTERIOR
DECORATOR WITH
CSR IN ITS DNA
Once every couple of years, you will have
to face it: (re)decorating your school.
It is a very important activity you will perhaps
only be a part of several times during your
education career. Educational furniture is
depreciated in a period of 10 years and often
has a technical lifespan of 20 years. So, if you
are going to (re)decorate, it is important to
make the right choices.
Naturally, the furniture must be of high
quality and be vandalism-proof. It must also
be flexible in its use and suitable for all (new)
teaching methods and school activities.
Furthermore, comfort and ergonomics play
an important part; after all you want to take
care of the welfare of your students and
teaching staff.

Multifunctional room in a
Comprehensive Child Care Centre,
to be used by various user groups
and for various activities.
A teachers' room where you can
gather in a natural environment.
Optimum use of the space in a
­classroom is vital to be able to
do group and individual work.
A spacious central learning space
you can walk through without
disturbing the students there.
At Presikhaaf Schoolmeubelen, you will not have
to worry about all these aspects. We set the bar
high and will do everything in our power to
constantly surpass your expectations. But there
is more. We also want the furniture to be produced
in a responsible manner in all respects and that it
fits the look, feel and positioning of your school.
After all, parents not only choose a school based on
the quality of education, but also on the furnishing,
positioning and school environment.
As a result of this and other aspects, Presikhaaf
Schoolmeubelen has a very active CSR policy.
Not only with respect to the choice of materials,
processes and partners, but also with respect to
making a conscious decision to employing people
with a work disability. By combining this active CSR
policy with our passionate involvement with society,
we make a difference. By choosing Presikhaaf
Schoolmeubelen, you are not only choosing high
quality, a fair price and perfect service, advice and
guidance; you are also making a specific policy
choice that fits your school's or child care
centre's vision.
We will gladly give you a tour of Presikhaaf

COOPERATING WITH TRULY
INVOLVED PARTIES IS THE
FOUNDATION OF OUR POLICY.
NEXXT Generation grows alongside the student
NEXXT Generation furniture is robust
and sound, but has a very friendly
and accessible look. It fits a plethora of
rooms, from classrooms to auditoriums.
The stackable chair is available in different
versions with a synthetic bucket or a
separate back and seat.
NEXXT Generation grows alongside the
student and provides a recognisable
atmosphere throughout the entire school.
Presikhaaf Schoolmeubelen truly
values corporate social responsibility.
To us, this means that we adhere to
the principles of People, Planet
and Profit.
We are constantly looking for the
right balance and work in a completely
transparent fashion with respect to
stakeholders whether they are our sister
companies, our business partners or
the schools themselves. In doing so,
we consciously choose partners who
– like us – focus on profit for people,
society and the environment.
This is expressed in our entire
work method. Presikhaaf
Schoolmeubelen does more than
just take care of the furnishing of
classrooms, playgrounds and hallways.
Together with our sister companies
(Ahrend, Gispen and Roels) and business
partners (such as Woodi, Legamaster,
Andersen, Van der Sluis, van Esch,
Roofer), we are able to almost fully
furnish schools including administrative
departments, the teachers' room and
the Remedial Teacher room.
Moreover, we are fully equipped to
develop furnishing proposals, complete
with 3D visualisation and presentation
making Presikhaaf Schoolmeubelen
a complete interior design and
furnishing expert.

 PROPER PREPARATION
IS HALF THE WORK

These days, a furnishing concept encompasses more than just the delivery
and installation of sustainable furniture. It is a business plan that takes
your specific situation and position with respect to other schools into
account. That is why our interior design experts are trained to properly
assess how your school wishes to position itself, what your school's vision
on the form of education is and how it intends to distinguish itself from
other schools.

Only then will there be a briefing
regarding the furnishings – possibly
using a mood board from our own
Interior Design department so
you can see examples of the range
of ideas.
We will draw up an initial furnishing
proposal based on the approved
briefing and mood board. Step by
step, we will form a final plan, after
which we will draw in the furniture
and create a fully 3D visualisation
for you. This allows you to get a
virtual look at your newly furnished
school in advance!

With Woodi, you will create a healthy and natural child care

The contemporary collection is modular in nature and can be easily

learning while sitting, standing or even lying down. This improves the
ergonomics of the nursery teachers and other child care employees
in a smart and attractive way.

As a school furniture expert, we can do a
lot, but we can't do everything. For some
specific solutions we will gladly make use
of other suppliers. This covers, for instance,
the (partial) furnishing of ancillary rooms,
teachers' rooms, etc. Of course we select our
suppliers with the greatest care and stay in

 NEW FURNISHINGS FOR
DOMMELRODE PRIMARY SCHOOL:
PERFECT EXAMPLE OF CO-CREATION
AND A SOCIAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT PROJECT.

Dommelrode Primary School in
Sint-Oedenrode underwent a
complete metamorphosis. The
school was renovated and all the
furnishings were renewed. It is a
prime example of the strength of
co-creation and a Social Return on
Investment project. It resulted in
a completely state-of-the-art
layout and furnishings that
ensure Dommelrode is all set
for the future.
Unique collaboration between
the Royal Ahrend companies
The Royal Ahrend companies, of
which Presikhaaf Schoolmeubelen
is a part, created a complete
furnishing concept for all rooms
of the Dommelrode school.
A concept that is equally well-
designed as it is future-proof.
The entire decoration has been
redesigned together with the
school's
management, board and other
direct stakeholders. Everyone was
able to provide input and indicate
their preferences, which led to a full
co-creation between school board,
management, teachers, designer,
participation council and the Royal
Ahrend companies. Presikhaaf
Schoolmeubelen, as primary
education furnishing expert, took
up the coordination and realisation
of the project.
Contemporary and well-considered
custom solutions
The challenge to push back
the frontiers was big. All rooms –
from entrance and pantries to
work and team rooms – had to be
completely renovated and tuned to
each other. The designer took this
into account from the very start.
'We increased the entrance hall's
size, created a better passageway,
adjusted the features of many
rooms so you do not have to cross
them to get somewhere else. For
the classrooms in particular we
wanted to create some rest by
adding structure and carefully
choosing the colours. Both the
Dommelrode logo and the natural
colours from the environment
return in the interior design in their
own way and in a calming balance.'

 OUR EXPERTS MAKE SPECIAL FURNITURE
WITH A HEART AND SOUL
Corporate social responsibility and
involvement is a fundamental value to
Presikhaaf Schoolmeubelen. To this
end, we are constantly on top of our
CSR policy. Not only by separating
waste collection, using sustainable
resources, resource recycling,
revitalising used school furniture and
involvement in social initiatives such
as the 'Leuk om te Leren' Foundation,
but also by employing people with a
disability. This works brilliantly, because
we simplified the work process and
divided it into separate parts.
This approach only has benefits,
because it makes us much more flexible
than others. Our experts have extensive
experience and the drive and focus to
create something beautiful and fitting.
They feel they are responsible for the
10
quality of the furniture and consider it
their duty to provide a perfect product.
They do so without higher product
costs, because more man hours means
less personnel costs, which in turn
completes the business case and
allows us to create very high-quality
and sustainable school furniture at a
competitive price.
Our employees are proud of their
creations and their skills. They are
glad to have found such a great
working environment at Presikhaaf
Schoolmeubelen; a career that is
guaranteed for the future under the
wings of Royal Ahrend NV.
 THIS IS
NO ORDINARY CHAIR

Presikhaaf Schoolmeubelen meets

the strictest market standards both in
terms of work method and in terms of
production techniques. ISO standards
9001 (quality management system) and
14001 (environment management system)
apply to our work method. Presikhaaf
Schoolmeubelen is ISO 9001 certified and
works fully in accordance with the principles
of ISO 9001-2015 and ISO 14001-2015.
For our production technique, the NEN-EN
1729 standard applies for school furniture.
This standard assumes the use of seven
sizes for both tables and chairs indicated
with a code and a colour. All Presikhaaf’s
school furniture has been manufactured
according to this principle. Moreover, we
are in the process of being certified for the
CSR Performance Ladder. This means that
we take our social responsibility and make
efforts towards creating more sustainable
job for people with a vulnerable labour
market position. This is an important
aspect for you to consider when making
your decision.

11
 Staying in the lead and staying aware of
the latest developments and materials,
internationally too; that fully describes
Presikhaaf Schoolmeubelen.
In order to provide a contemporary complete concept,
permanent cooperation with innovative market
parties and educational institutes is vital. That is
why we are constantly looking for new suppliers,
techniques and materials. We are on top of the trends
and developments of the new education so we can
tune every innovation to your needs. We eagerly
exchange knowledge and experience. And we profit
fully from all the expertise of our parent company
Royal Ahrend NV.

ROOM FOR THE
FUTURE
Apart from the contemporary production
concept, we also have contemporary view
of the impact our company has on people
and society. We make sure our activities
cause as little damage, nuisance and
hindrance to the environment as possible.
We are also constantly looking for new
and better materials and technologies
that are less of a burden to people and
the environment. In doing so, we not only
comply with legislation, but also work
from the best efforts obligations we
agreed upon with various stakeholders
and have recorded.
We want to maintain corporate social
responsibility in all respects and base
our policy on the 'sustainable' and
'distinguishing' pillars. For now and
for the future. That is how we position
ourselves and that is how it forms the
commitment to our surroundings. In order
to make elaborate on this, we set clear
environmental goals that we continue to
monitor and evaluate. We also completely
familiarise our surroundings – from
personnel to other stakeholders – with
our environmental policy.
