As an entrepreneur and networker, I am constantly exploring—24/7—whether things can be done differently and better to create win-win outcomes for both us and our clients.

Cor Rutten, the son of one of the Rutten brothers, was, as he likes to say, "born into the paint trade." This inspired his passion for combining technical expertise with aesthetics, backed by more than 35 years of hands-on experience in every aspect of painting. From residential interiors and exteriors to industrial projects in the Netherlands and abroad, his painting company has served a wide variety of clients. "Think first, then act!" is the company's motto, and the principle that guides its work every day.

Rutten Group

Rutten Group was founded from the desire to offer clients solutions that go beyond what can sometimes be achieved by painting alone on site. Thinking differently and finding better solutions has become the company's foundation. Today, Rutten Group serves major clients and institutions throughout the Netherlands.
Rather than building something new, the company specialises in repairing defects. Success lies in understanding the client and working within existing processes. Damage is repaired discreetly and improvements are made wherever possible. These improvements are almost always designed by Rutten Group.
Experience has shown that these solutions fit the challenge and create lasting value for the often different owners of complex assets such as railway stations and public artworks. Beautiful. Keep it that way! is the slogan that reflects this philosophy, and it guides the company every day.

SussGlass BV

SussGlass BV was established in response to the growing number of glass structures with roofs made entirely of glass. Its mission is to equip these structures with transparent PV glass. The challenge is to preserve the original architecture, make only minimal structural changes, and produce glass that is often angled, curved, twisted or non-rectangular. The industry has no standard solution for this. SussGlass does, supported by a worldwide network of specialist glass manufacturers capable of producing virtually any design.
Applications include standalone bus shelters with their own power supply, noise barriers that generate electricity for lighting beneath viaducts, and platform canopies where transparent PV glass can power lighting and much more.

Paint Product Specialist Curaçao BV (PPS-C BV)

The Curaçao-based company through which Cor pursues new challenges in paint specialisation while also investing in real estate. Its aim is to combine years of experience, a customer-focused approach, and specialist expertise in protective coatings and preservation on the island.

Dushi Beach Bungalow

A six-person bungalow with sea views, located just 100 metres from the beach and several restaurants. The first investment by PPS-C BV on Curaçao, furnished entirely to the taste of Cor and his wife Francis, just as they would enjoy it themselves. The bungalow can be viewed and rented through Airbnb. Availability can be checked on Airbnb, and direct bookings can be made via WhatsApp at +31 6 50 45 03 39.

Boomerang

A growing international business networking concept with members around the world. Cor has been a member since its launch in Wijchen and served as Chairman of the Wijchen Collective in 2025. Passionate about the principle of "being yourself" in business, he actively helps expand the network worldwide. Boomerang connects entrepreneurs who believe in doing business based on trust. For Cor, building trust is the foundation of every weekly meeting. By getting to know one another, genuine recommendations naturally follow throughout the wider business network.
