Robbert de Jong new commercial director

Robbert de Jong will start as commercial director at Meuwissen Gerritsen as of Nov. 1, 2022. With this, the company is taking the next step in professionalizing and expanding its commercial team in Haarlem. “Our products contribute to extending the service life of structures and improving energy performance. Demand for our products is growing substantially, especially in the current times, and the opportunities in exporting and expanding our technical capabilities are therefore enormous. In order to realize that potential, it is a logical choice to expand our management.” explains Jaap Jan Gerritsen, managing director of Meuwissen Gerritsen.

Robbert de Jong is stepping down from the Ferney Group, a hardware purchasing organization, after 16 years and will start as commercial director at Meuwissen Gerritsen on November 1. “After a great career in trade, it felt like the right time to fulfill a long-cherished desire to work for a manufacturing company. The opportunity to work for a specialized family company with a clear long-term vision and a rich history could not be missed. Because when you say films, you say Meuwissen Gerritsen. I am very much looking forward to building on our success with the entire team.” said Robbert de Jong.

As a producer of technical construction membranes in the Netherlands, Meuwissen Gerritsen’s ambition is to further expand the range, making it more widely available, increasing exports and intensifying cooperation with current customers. “We have gone through quite a transition as a company in recent years. To further accelerate our growth, it is necessary to strengthen the organizational foundation. Robbert has long been familiar with Meuwissen Gerritsen from his role at the Ferney Group. His experience in the industry and his broad network is a tremendous addition to our company.” said Jaap Jan Gerritsen, general manager Meuwissen Gerritsen.
