Board of BW visits Van Zutven Group


May 7, the College of Mayor and Aldermen visited the Van Zutven processing plant in Veghel.

Yesterday the college of mayor and aldermen together with the town clerk of the municipality of Meierijstad held their college meeting at Van Zutven Group in Veghel. Unique in the Netherlands to meet in this way and also unique to be able to serve the stage in front of such an audience.

Marc die Bie, senior account manager for businesses at the Municipality of Meierijstad: ”During lunch, Frans van Zutven and Marco van Boheemen took us through their growth ambitions and innovative entrepreneurship. Son Niels van Zutven has a special role within the family business. He is the inventor in optimizing, automating and digitizing their production lines by building machines that are not for sale anywhere in the world. This makes Van Zutven unique in the world. As a result, they are the only ones able to bring certain residual streams originating from Food and Feed back into production as upgraded raw materials.

Van Zutven is also very strongly committed to local collaboration, circularity and sustainability as mortar in the wall of business. Because it doesn’t only serve the people, the environment and society, but also its wallet. Hence Corporate Social Responsibility is in the genes of the van Zutven family and their employees.

Hence we are proud of this beautiful family business and that this gem is located in Meierijstad. Frans, Niels and Marco. Thank you for your hospitality and enthusiastic story.
