On Monday 29 May, Kees Oskam laid the foundation stone for the expansion of the existing commercial premises with about 3,500 additional square metres at a sub-location Neerijnen, the Netherlands. This new section should offer space to two modern sorting lines and a number of packing machines.
“The development process clearly cost time, and we even had to switch bankers to finance the project, but in the end, the Dutch ABN AMRO bank was prepared to head towards 2040 with Oskam,” Kees says. He explicitly chose a future without subsidies, and continues to trust in his own strength and ability. “That might be a tough struggle, but it’s the most righteous. With these investments focused on the future, I hope to make a considerable catch-up effort in the field of efficiency, and to continue serving our customers in the right way.”
