Watch the mini doc about Hizkia Van Kralingen’s company and how it all began.

Our CEO and Founder Hizkia Van Kralingen started his business in The Hague, The Netherlands in 1990. Now, over three decades later, HIZKIA is still family-owned and has grown into a European authority in fine art logistics.

The future is exciting, and we thrive on anticipating what’s next. However, it’s the past that drives progress. It reminds us why we do what we do, what we’ve learned along the way, and how far we’ve come as a result.

Growth is what happens when you find others that share the same values.

HIZKIA has evolved from a small, local business to an international company with offices operating from six European countries. This growth was founded in a recognition of shared beliefs and standards, and with it we have gained more knowledge and expertise. Above all else, we remain inspired by art, driven by service.

CEO and Founder Hizkia Van Kralingen:

“Seeing art in person can make me euphoric. I firmly believe that art and culture are vital to our existence; these stories were meant to be heard. There is nothing that can teach us more about human nature and give us hope for our own futures. This is what has inspired me to do this work for over thirty years, and still does to this day.”

We couldn’t agree more.
