Hi, Aernout,

Try the Feature to Point tool. I have used it many times and it works great. Good Luck.

Thanks Joseph!

And in case you do not have ArcGIS Desktop Advanced license (prerequisite for Feature to Point Tool), you could follow How To: Locate polygon centroids and convert them to points in ArcView and ArcEditor.
