After a word of welcome of our CEO, René Dale (on the left in the picture), guest speaker and TV and theatre personality Raymond Mens came on stage. The American connoisseur and political scientist interpreted current affairs in an inspiring manner. This was followed by the official opening in our new distribution center.

Arnold de Jong, CEO of the Fritom Group (on the right in the picture), and colleague Albert Medendorp, our BREEAM project leader, pressed a red button together, which set an impressive laser show in motion. Our company highlights since 1917 were then projected onto the warehouse racks in a spectacular way.

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF LOGISTICS

Guided by our motto “Shaping the Future of Logistics” we have also upgraded our main warehouse and office building in Veendam from BREEAM In-Use Excellent to Outstanding. This means that all our buildings in Veendam are soon certified according to the highest achievable BREEAM rating. In other words, they meet every sustainability requirement, both now and in the future.
