A lion’s head, a monkey’s head, a polar bear and a hippopotamus. No, you’re not in the zoo, but at Helmond’s best-kept secret. Max Duymelinck mounts animals with his company By Max, and we’re not talking about a cat or dog. The company has now been around for five years and today hundreds of animals are sold each year to museums, businesses, schools, but also to people at home. “We think it is a shame when an animal ends up in the shredder. Here we can give the animal a second life.”
In the popular home and lifestyle programme De Perfecte Plek on SBS6, By Max gets the opportunity to put their remarkable shop in the spotlight. In an exclusive advertising video, they take viewers through their impressive collection of taxidermy animals, animal hides and other unique naturalia. The video gives a wonderful impression of the craftsmanship, passion and special atmosphere in the shop. With this broadcast, By Max shows why they are the specialist in the field of taxidermy and natural interior decoration. Did you miss the broadcast? Come and take a look for yourself and discover the magic of By Max!
The elephant’s head on the façade of a building on an industrial estate in Helmond stands out, especially among the DIY stores and furniture shops. What is behind the façade is not immediately clear. It turns out to be a very large shop specialising in taxidermy animals. With around five hundred animals, the business has something of a museum about it. Taxidermy animals are traded worldwide from the company premises.

The finest taxidermy – lifelike deer, zebras, birds, even polar bears and tigers – can be found at By Max.
Animals add something to our existence. In life, but also afterwards. A taxidermy animal is a true enrichment of your interior. The finest taxidermy – lifelike deer, zebras, birds, even polar bears and tigers – can be found at By Max.
Important: these deceased animals have the correct paperwork. They died in zoos, or the hides are by-products of the meat industry.
