Our peopleEmma Beijer - Product Manager Laying Hens
Emma Beijer (29) grew up on her parents’ poultry farm in the Dutch village of Wamel. In view of her interest in the agricultural sector, studying at Wageningen University was the logical next step.

After finishing her degree, Emma was delighted to be allowed to stay on at De Heus, where she subsequently became a researcher in parent stock and laying hens.

Our peoplePercy Tran Minh Hien - International Product Manager
When Percy joined De Heus Vietnam in 2011, he was driven by more than a job opportunity. The company’s values, expressed through its core slogan "Together for Better Results", deeply aligned with his own ambitions: to contribute to high-quality feed production, support animal well-being, and serve the farming communities of Vietnam and beyond. The name Percy, chosen at the very beginning of his career, was inspired by the character Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon known for his control over water. As he joined the Aqua division, it felt fitting—a name symbolizing strength, adaptability, and purpose.
