Strengholt Holding

Strengholt BV was founded in 1928 as a publisher of books and magazines. It has since grown to become an international media and entertainment company.

In 1971 Strengholt relocated its head office from the Leidsegracht in Amsterdam to Naarden and established itself in the monumental ‘Oud-Bussem’ Hofstede. This extensive complex, with the largest thatched roof in the Netherlands, was built between 1903–1906 and for the first 50 years it was used as a hygienic milking parlour. The architects Berlage and Dudok considered it to be the best work of master builder K.P.C. de Bazel (1869–1923). The ‘Oud-Bussem’ Hofstede is now a listed building.

Strengholt Music Group has been one of the largest independent music publishers in the Benelux for more than 50 years.

Amongst other things, the group’s activities include the leasing of music rights(copyrights), publishing (sheet) music and exclusively representing foreign and Dutch music publishers such as Stage Entertainment, NOS and MTV Networks.

The extensive catalogue of the Strengholt Music Group includes evergreens, national and international hits by, amongst others, Chuck Berry, Jan Smit, Belinda Meuldijk (Rob de Nijs), Emile Hartkamp (Frans Bauer), Piet Souer, Ferry Corsten, Showtek, Markus Schulz, Paul Elstak, Peter van Asten and Laurens van Rooyen.

As the owner of Dureco – one of the oldest record labels in the Netherlands – the Strengholt Music Group is involved in leasing numerous music productions. The catalogue includes artists such as Vader Abraham, Corry & de Rekels, Jacques Herb, Intwine, De Kermisklanten, Anita Meyer, Mieke, Benny Neyman and many more.
