ROYAL DE HEUS COMPANY PROFILE

ROYAL DE HEUS SERVING ALL YOUR NUTRITIONAL FARM NEEDS ROYAL DE HEUS HAS BEEN A PARTNER IN ANIMAL NUTRITION TO THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR FOR 4 GENERATIONS. WITH OUR DUTCH ROOTS, AND FOR OVER 100 YEARS, WE HAVE DEDICATED OURSELVES EACH AND EVERY DAY TO REALIZE THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE CONVERSION OF FEED INTO ANIMAL PROTEINS. ALL WITH THE SINGLE PURPOSE TO OPTIMIZE BUSINESS RESULTS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS. WE HELP OUR CUSTOMERS MOVE FORWARD AND CREATE AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS WHEREVER WE ARE ACTIVE. ALL OVER THE WORLD.

OVER 100 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN ANIMAL NUTRITION Royal De Heus was founded in 1911 and has its roots in the Netherlands. Up to the 1970’s De Heus grew autonomously from a small miller to an important regional player. Between 1970 and 1980 De Heus became a national player in feed milling mainly by acquisitions

dhv15081_compagny_profile_EN.indd 2

of Dutch companies. In 1997 De Heus made an important strategic step in its international ambitions by acquiring Koudijs. By its export department Koudijs had extensive knowledge and experience with other countries which De Heus could benefit from. De Heus expanded its global activities step by step because there was a strong realization that

every country and every customer is different. Only by knowing and fully understanding these differences De Heus was and still is able to provide customers with the best nutritional solution fitted to their local circumstances. Nowadays De Heus has for several decades of international experience and is present in more than 50 countries.

ROYAL DE HEUS COMPANY PROFILE

PROGRESS IS IN OUR GENES DE HEUS, POWERING PROGRESS IS THE SLOGAN WE USE. THIS MEANS THAT WE WANT TO BE THE DRIVING FORCE FOR PROGRESS OF OUR CUSTOMERS. WE ALWAYS STRIVE TO DO BETTER. IT’S SOMETHING OUR CUSTOMERS ALSO RECOGNISE IN US. OUR DECISIVENESS ENABLES US TO ALWAYS RESPOND RAPIDLY AND BE THE DRIVING FORCE FOR OUR CUSTOMERS’ PROGRESS. FIVE PILLARS FORM THE BASIS FOR OUR CONTRIBUTION TO OUR CUSTOMERS. FIVE UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS WHICH ARE KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND US. ALONGSIDE OUR PASSION AND THE STRENGTH OF OUR TEAM, THIS IS WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE. ALL THESE ADDED VALUES ARE IN OUR GENES.

QUALITY Our strength is in our quality. The quality of our animal feed, produced under total chain and process control, and our innovations resulting from the latest insights in nutrition. But equally important is the quality of our employees and our services. Always aimed at moving our customers forward.

PERFORMANCE Our customers want to get the highest possible performance from our animal feed. But every company is unique. We have the unique ability to offer a tailor-made animal feed

concept for any individual business situation. And that helps boost our customers’ operating results.

INDEPENDENT PARTNER We are an independent company and every farmer is the same to us.

We want the best for our customers: excellent product performance and honest, sound advice. Because their progress is our progress.

BETTER! We continually try to fulfil our potential. Raise the bar each time. Try to exceed our own expectations. That’s our philosophy.

And that makes our company and our employees so unique.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP De Heus is a family business. For four generations, we have been working as entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. We know what moves our customers, and what really matters in the end. It’s about hard work, remaining alert, seeing opportunities and exploiting them.

But it’s also acting decisively and daring to take decisions, as well constantly improving the quality of our animal feed and services, based on a clear vision.
