This year, JNV Produce celebrates its 25th anniversary. "That's something to be proud of," says Frits de Mooij, who took over as director/owner from Johan Vrijland in December. "Twenty-five years ago, Johan started JNV produce from the shed behind his house. It kept quickly outgrowing its premises and, so, moved a few times in the early years. But we've been in the same location in the Netherlands for the longest time, almost 15 years now."
"JNV has always fully focused on the English market, making us a true specialist. We're proud of that. We used to have a far greater presence in British wholesale markets, but nowadays, we focus more on contract volumes for processors and packers. We deliberately don't do much day trading. Our transparent working method makes us unique, and everyone - customers, suppliers, and logistics partners - appreciates that."
But the company's employees, too, love this way of working. "Most of our base team have been working at JNV from day one, and next year one of them will be celebrating their 25th year at the company. Over the last three years, JNV also expanded with a nice young team. Together with the old hands, this works very well. So, we're ready for the next quarter of a century," says Frits enthusiastically.
"Many of our suppliers have been involved with JNV since the very start too. Without good partners, you get nowhere. We're all too aware of this, which is why we'd like to thank all our partners for their trust over the past 25 years. DLG Dailyfresh is particularly special to us."
"They've been handling all our logistics to the United Kingdom from the get-go. No challenge is too outlandish, and they give 110% effort every season. We're, therefore, extra proud of our partnership with DLG Dailyfresh and the truck they've had branded with our new logo, especially for this anniversary," Frits concludes.
