The Van Rijn Group have requested for suspension of payments by a court in The Hague.Today it will be made known whether the court will honor this request, General manager, Ron Greeff confirmed this morning. It concerns the Van Rijn Group, including those related to the fruit and vegetable trading companies such as Van Rijn Trading, Rijntrans and Pakstation Joosen.
“Last month we ran a recovery program with a new Asian investor, although it looked promising it did not work out,” says Ron. “We thought it was a credible plan for the company to pursue.”
Van Rijn was founded in 1855 in the Westland and has more than 50 affiliates and partners in over 70 countries. In April 2011, Van Rijn sold its 50% share in the seed company KWS Van Rijn (now KWS Potato). Last year alone, several changes were initiated under the name ‘Big Move’. This reorganization led to the dismissal of a number of people and led to, amongst other things, the integration of the trading companies Van Rijn Trading and Langfruit.
