One team, two sites

The Zeewolde office is small by design: fourteen people who each own a part of the chain, from purchase to the loading bay. Behind them stand more than 300 colleagues in the group, most of them in the selection facility in Shaoshan. Your sales contact knows your calibre, your make-up and your last shipment; logistics knows your port and your paperwork; QA knows your lot.

Family and management side by side

Teijsen is family-owned and professionally run. Jeffrey Zaal has been CFO and board member since 2016 and took over as CEO from René Teijsen on 9 May 2025. Simone Fiere-Teijsen leads the company as Managing Director. The fourth generation, Nick Fiere and Ruben Teijsen, has run sales and supply chain for years and became co-shareholders in 2023.
