Some of our colleagues
Bas Denissen
Purchase & Logistics Manager
In a small organization, getting big things done; that's what energizes me! Communication is key in this for me. That is essential in this job, especially as you are responsible for the most important aspect of a trading company; the inbound and outbound flow. As the hub of the logistics chain, I am involved in almost everything. Delegation is almost impossible in this small organization, so you often have to solve things yourself. Isn't that great! And working in a small team also creates an intimate bond. Fortunately, there is plenty of laughter here so in that respect I am in my element here.
Arjan Harbers
Sales Manager
Since I started at VDK Products in 1999, I have been able to build good relationships with our dealers all over the world. It gives me energy to work with them, every day, to inform and provide livestock farmers with the best products. With a super team of colleagues, we work on improving our current product range and maintaining a good relationship with these dealers. This way, we try to achieve growth every year and increase the brand awareness of CalfOTel and Flexxstore.
Bert Piëst
CEO
Achieving results together every day. And working together towards the same goal: contributing to healthy and socially responsible agriculture. That gives me energy and I want to convey that energy to everyone involved. Developing new products together with suppliers and colleagues. And together with our sales team and dealers, to make farmers happy with the best products. We are therefore more than just a supplier of products. We have a clear vision about agriculture and want to communicate it transparently to everyone involved. That gives energy and success, for everyone.

I have been working for VDK for 10 years now, because it is a family business specializing in a single type of product with an integral concept for calf rearing. I would like to offer solutions and new perspectives to all dairy farmers who want to improve the rearing conditions of their calves. I love seeing satisfied customers when we have been able to help them find effective solutions to their concerns and challenges. I like precision and efficiency, as well as the dynamics in the work.
