1975
The origin: establishment of ITH Complast B.V. in 1975
The family business ITH Complast B.V. was founded in Arnhem. Driven by entrepreneurship, craftsmanship, and a clear vision for the future, ITH Complast B.V. grew from a local production and trading organization into a reliable player in the world of household products. This foundation of commitment, quality, and long-term thinking continues to form the DNA of our organization to this day.
2013 - New direction under trusted entrepreneurship
In 2013, Leen Paardekooper becomes the new owner of ITH Complast. With a fresh perspective and respect for the family business values, the foundation was laid for further growth, professionalization, and international ambitions.

One powerful name: ITH Complast B.V. and Pack-It B.V. continue as Pack-It B.V.
This consolidation strengthens our position as a leading player in the market, thanks in part to a unified vision and focus on sustainable customer relationships and mutual growth.
Pack-It B.V. moves to Oud-Beijerland (Hoeksche Waard)
In 2019, Pack-It B.V. relocates its headquarters to Oud-Beijerland, situated in the heart of the Hoeksche Waard. This region holds special significance for the Paardekooper family. Although Leen Paardekooper wasn't born here, he has lived here for a considerable time and considers the Hoeksche Waard a foundation for both his personal and business life. His son, Marijn Paardekooper, was born here — an important symbol of the family's strong roots in the region.

Future-focused—even in our history. At the end of 2026, we will relocate to a new logistics hub "SHIPP21" in Puttershoek.

The new building will be constructed according to current sustainability standards, ensuring we are future-ready in this aspect as well.
