Bureau Veritas has completed the annual audit of our IFS quality system. On January 1, 2008 IFS has raised its standards to a higher level. Therefore many companies could not meet the requirements and were forced to return to the foundation level. However, we are proud to say we have maintained our higher level certification!

During a trade dinner in Shanghai on October 28th our General Manager of Van Hessen Trading handed our world famous Guts & Glory booklet to the Prime Minister of The Netherlands, Jan-Peter
Balkenende.

From October 18, to October 23rd representatives of our company will visit the Sial in Paris. This food exhibition is frequently visited by current and potential suppliers and customers from around the world. We will visit various partners in our industry at their booths to strengthen relationships and establish new possible business partners during the event.

With our new website we have established a new communication era for our group. Through modern design, recent and historical pictures, new functionality and an easier contactability we hope to attract many more visitors to our website. In the months to come more functionality will be added to the website which is now easier to maintain as well. The idea is to show our partners and possibly interested professionals visiting our website, our commitment to the production and distribution of reliable high quality casings.
