To qualify for the honorary title of Koninklijke in the Netherlands a company must be a leader in its field, be of national importance and have existed for at least 100 years.
“We are very delighted by Her Majesty’s announcement that we have been awarded the title Royal. We are very proud of the fact that, although our activities are global, our roots are in the Netherlands and go back to the end of the nineteenth century,” said Cees ‘t Hart, CEO of Royal FrieslandCampina.
