Mike on what makes this expansion typically Kortmann
Every expansion is an opportunity to improve. At Kortmann, that means building on experience and keeping an eye on the future.
“We’re not just adding extra storage space,” Mike says.
“With years of experience building art depots, we know exactly what works and what can be improved. We build on trust, on safety, on quality.”
The new depot will be CO₂-neutral, fully climate-controlled, and equipped with the latest security and climate management technology. According to Mike, that’s typical of the Kortmann approach: always aiming for the highest standard, with a strong focus on sustainability.
“It shows that we’re not only working for today but also investing in tomorrow.”
That investment is visible in every detail, from the choice of green façades to the layout of the storage spaces. Everything is designed to preserve artworks under the best possible conditions — now and for decades to come.
“At Kortmann, quality is the standard. Always. And you see that in every detail of this expansion.”
Whether it’s temporary storage, long-term preservation, or bespoke solutions, at Kortmann art is always at the center, now and in the future.
This is the last interview of the ‘Management Perspectives’ series, in which we ask our colleagues to share their personal views on the new depot expansion in Hoofddorp.
