On Saturday 6 April, Aartsenfruit celebrated the expansion of their branch in Venlo with an open day. A lot of interested parties took the opportunity to visit the new building. The presentation of own brands and products was well organised, as we’ve come to expect from Aartsenfruit. A special programme had also been set up for the children.
“After having moved twice, we moved into this new building in September 2011. In 2018, we started expanding warehouse space by 1,800 square metres and cell space by 700 square metres, an expansion of 2,500 square metres in total. The number of docks has also been increased from 12 to 22. This new construction was finished in June 2018, and its impossible to imagine life today without the newly created space,” says branch manager Frans Jongerius.
“In August we started expanding the offices, the existing office has been doubled, and the sales office and accompanying spaces are a real eye-catcher. It’s ultra modern, much more spacious and ready for an expansion of our commercial team,” Frans continues. “We feel confident about the future, are very ambitious and still see plenty of opportunities and options on both the import and sales side of things for continued growth.”
Frans was satisfied with the open day. “The presentations of our products and brands allowed us to present ourselves to current and potential customers, fellow companies, neighbours of the Freshpark, colleagues, families and other relations. People interested in vacant positions could also take a look, and by means of a tour they were all given a good look of Aartsenfruit Venlo.”
