Helping employees thrive through effective programmes for safety, health and well-being

At De Heus, we believe that we can only give our customers the best support if our employees are healthy and able to collaborate in a safe, nurturing workplace. By taking care of their physical and mental well-being, we can help our people function at their best in both their private and work lives. To achieve this, we offer a safe and inspiring work environment, promote a healthy lifestyle and encourage our employees to develop themselves. In Poland, the company's commitment to outstanding employership is demonstrated by the Top Employer certification awarded to De Heus Poland in 2023. We talk to Aleksandra Frankiewicz, Director Human Relations at De Heus Poland, and Wichard Bieze, Global Director Human Resources, about the programmes that help give employees a healthy work-life balance and how they reflect De Heus' global HR policy.

De Heus Animal Nutrition invests in expansion of premixes

Royal De Heus expands its activities in premixes further by building two new plants in the Netherlands and Poland. With this expansion, De Heus anticipates on the growing demand for premixes. De Heus is therefore in a unique position to be able to produce all nutritional solutions, whether it concerns complete feed, compound feed, concentrates or premixes. On September 11th the new premix factory in Poland is opened on a festive way.

Developing a self-sufficient food chain and fostering rural communities in Ghana through layer farming

As an entrepreneurial company, De Heus strongly believes that independent entrepreneurship of farmers is the engine of local economies. We believe in maintaining the vitality of rural communities. To help achieve this, local business units collaborate with supply chain partners to support rural farmers so they can strengthen and improve their business operations. This in turn benefits local communities and helps countries become more self-sufficient in terms of food supply, particularly in developing nations. In Ghana, the vast majority of laying hens are imported, resulting in high egg prices. De Heus has formed a pioneering joint venture with Kuipers Breeders to produce layer chicks locally. This will not only support the country in developing its own independent food supply, it will also help provide the local population with an affordable and nutritious source of protein. We talk to Jurjën Kuipers of Kuipers Breeders and Theo Smalbraak, Business Group Director Africa & Middle East, De Heus, about how the partnership developed, what they plan to achieve and their long-term ambitions.

Research at local research farms worldwide

In almost all countries where we are located, we have local research farms. Here, we perform a myriad of feed tests using a wide range of variables. This way, we are able to accurately determine the exact type of feed, and the precise circumstances, that will lead to strong, healthy animals and an efficient feed conversion. The knowledge we acquire thanks to these research farms will be used to improve and innovate our products.
