Our Story

Family-owned. International. Since 1992.

WaxHands Europe is an independent family-owned business, active since 1992, helping venues worldwide turn visitor traffic into memorable take-home souvenirs. From our headquarters in Borculo, The Netherlands, we supply professional wax hand casting systems, consumables, and on-site training to theme parks, museums, malls, cruise lines, and event operators in more than 50 countries.

The Opportunity

Why WaxHands Works as a Business

A proven commercial model with high margins, fast production, low operational complexity, and a fit for any high-traffic location.

High Profit Margins

Each wax hand typically retails at €10–€20 with a fraction in material cost. A strong per-transaction contribution.

Fast Production

Each hand takes 1–2 minutes. A single professional system delivers up to 160 hands per day.

Low Operational Complexity

One trained operator can run the experience. Full training and ongoing support are included.

Fits High-Traffic Locations

Theme parks, malls, airports, museums, cruise ships, events — wherever crowds gather.

The Experience

Interactive. Memorable. Family-friendly.

People are naturally drawn to the WaxHands machine. The interactive process — dipping a hand, choosing colors, watching it set — creates a moment guests remember and a souvenir they take home. That emotional hook is what generates word-of-mouth and repeat visits for your venue.

  • Guests pay before they leave — no storage or fulfilment
  • Works for families, teens, couples, corporate events
  • Queues around the machine become part of the show
  • Each piece is unique — personal, emotional, photogenic
