history

Ventura was founded in 1994 with nothing more than an innovative idea and a lot of ambition. Ventura's name comes partly from embarking on a new adventure (adventure) and the Spanish '(a la buena) ventura' or (by good) luck. Ventura originated in Bolsward and the head office is still located there. Meanwhile, our products can be found all over the world.

30 years of Ventura Systems & Metal 2000

In 2024, we celebrated our 30th anniversary with a big party!

our product

We manufacture automatic door systems for vehicles such as buses, trucks and autonomous vehicles. These ensure that passengers can get in and out safely and that transporters can rely on a reliable door system. A complete door system consists of a mechanism, door blades and an installation kit. A perfect combination of hardware and software, which improves vehicle quality.

our markets

You will find our door systems all over the world in buses, trucks and autonomous vehicles. Chances are you can spot our product during a city trip. This is because we are the market leader and work with the largest OEMs in the world. Our markets have one thing in common, they all fall under urban (passenger) transport. This is where our door systems come into their own: cities with lots of passengers and activity.
