About Us

Herbert Huisman

Business Unit Manager

Artificial turf is my product, but the people behind the product matter most to me. As an entrepreneur, I am not shy about showing my sensitive side. Once part of the AGN family, we are always there for you. Together with Dennis, I started AGN out of our passion for artificial grass. Now, several years later, I am proud of the team I get to do this with. We are a growing company that has made great steps in digitalisation, dropshipment and own stock.

I am a father of five lovely children and married to Petra. I live in Nunspeet, where AGN is also located. I like to spend my free time on cars, our young puppy Joep and travelling to Bulgaria.

Dennis Knipmeijer

Business Unit Manager

Together with Herbert, I started AGN out of our passion for artificial grass. Before this, I had been working in the artificial grass sector for several years. I am a true artificial grass expert. For all your questions about artificial grass, I am the person to turn to. As a person, I am concrete and professional, but that does not mean I am not in for a joke. I like to build relationships with our dealers. You will therefore have personal contact with me or one of my direct colleagues. That is also our added value: our substantive knowledge of artificial grass and the ambition to work together with our dealers.

I live in beautiful Meppel with my family. In my spare time, I enjoy going camping and I love football.

Bertina Bleijenberg

Administrative officer

At AGN, I am responsible for all administrative and financial tasks. This suits me because I like structure and overview. This is how I am at work, but also at home as a mother of three! I like working at AGN because of the small scale of the company and the opportunity to develop. In the last year, we have made a lot of big steps in the company, new systems, new employees and a lot more stock. I enjoy seeing how everything keeps moving so much. And in the meantime, in the background I make sure all this is well taken care of.

I live in Nunspeet with my family. In my spare time, I do fun things with my family, play sports and enjoy reading a good book.

Caroline Mari Mulder

Marketing Manager

Since 2022 October I work at AGN Grass as their Marketing Manager. An industry that is still somewhat new to me, but a trade that is familiar. When people ask me about AGN, which happens a lot, I tell them about my love for this company. AGN is such an honest and ambitious company who sells artificial grass but in a professional and expert manner. As a Marketing Manager I work foremost on how I can contribute on our customer journey, something which I am very passionate about.

I live with my husband Marcos and my children in Nunspeet, near the head office. I like graphic design, coffee and I am obsessed with knitting and crochet.

Willem Schouten

Logistics employee

As a young boy, I once started as a Saturday helper at Herbert’s. When AGN was founded, I joined it. The core of my job is logistics but I actually do much more than that. I take care of and organise our stock and prepare orders. Besides this, I also work in our shop, helping the entrepreneurs who walk in here for an order. What I love about this work is the diversity, no two days are the same. For instance, one day I support a gardener in laying artificial turf and the next day I prepare a large order for transport abroad. Furthermore, we work with a friendly and close-knit team, something I find very important in life.

I am married to Berthe and we live in Nunspeet. I enjoy nature, fishing, doing handywork and doing nice things with friends and family.

Dick Weerheim

Commercial assistent

I am the youngest employee of AGN, once started as an intern, now as a commercial assistant. I like to be the spider-in-the-web of a company. I mainly focus on commercial and back-office tasks. This involves regular contact with our dealers. As a person, I find it important to do the work I do well. I am creative, sociable and a go-getter. What I like about working at AGN is the friendly working atmosphere. We are constantly working on our work structures to figure out how to do everything as well as possible.

In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family and friends. I enjoy doing fun things with my mother, sisters and little brother. Apart from this, I am the chef in the house, like to go boating and go to the gym.
