CityBOX is a Dutch company, 1880s
Established under the name Eerste Netherlandsche Houten Wielen Fabriek H J Van Rooyen en Zn in the 1880s, it first produced wooden wheels and other wood products.

Years later, after many name changes and restructures, the company began developing bodies for coaches and loading platforms for lorries, as well as producing a range of touring cars.

1988
In 1988, the company turned its focus to manufacturing modifications for light commercial vehicles – double cabins, raised roofs, and furnishing and lining of loading platforms.
The following year, the first closed and fully finished body left the factory – and the CityBOX was born. In the first year of production, 400 CityBOXes were delivered to dealers.
