Carrosserie Akkermans was founded 1811 and is located in Oud Gastel, The Netherlands. It is Holland's oldest coachbuilding company still in existence. The company used to have an important role in the Dutch agricultural mechanisation and later they started to manufacture automobile coachworks. In the fifties, Akkermans designed and built some specials based on the Volkswagen Beetle and DKW.
Nowadays the company focusses on coachwork manufacturing for utility vehicles for various companies, the army, television companies, the police and ambulances.

I am not a natural flatterer, I like to think that I "tell it like it is", politely I hope. So when I tell you that I am very impressed by the contents of your website, it is just not English politeness. I of course love the subject matter but you deal with it in an energetic and respectful manner. I am overwhelmed by the research that has gone into compiling the list of coachbuilders/bodybuilders for Europe and North America. I have never heard of the vast majority of them.
Congratulations on an excellent website.
