‘Unique cocoa products with a circular conscience’.
ZAANDAM – January 1st 2018 - While the circular economy is a global hot topic at the moment, it’s the heritage of Jan Schoemaker BV since 1923, being the circular conscience in the cocoa industry for 94 years already. We are proud to present the 5th generation of Schoemaker’s owners, who will also be appointed to the board of Directors. Daan Reitsma - Managing Director: “I feel fortunate to be the next generation in this great company. Special thanks go to Karel Reitsma, Henk Kaandorp and Nick Jan Cramer for strengthening and expanding the foundation of Schoemaker over the last 30 years and making it a well-known and reliable business partner in the world of cocoa. I look forward to continue this together with my partners and the entire Schoemaker team”.
Schoemaker is the last remaining 100% Dutch-owned cocoa processor of the industry, employing a dedicated and committed workforce of over 100 people in several entities in the Netherlands and Ghana. Paul Silva da Cruz - Financial Director: “I feel proud and honoured to be part of the next chapter of Schoemaker; a unique company with an exceptional production process and beautiful people. A small player filled with potential.”
Without losing focus on delivering high quality cocoa butter to the confectionery, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry, which Jan Schoemaker BV is known for, the company is also in progress of expanding on the cocoa market. Pieter Schulting - Commercial Director: “Over the years Schoemaker has developed the expertise to produce high quality cocoa products like refined deodorized butter and highly defatted powder made from unconventional cocoa streams sourced around the globe. This basically makes Jan Schoemaker BV the circular conscience of the cocoa industry already since 1923. A strong foundation to further build on and develop.”
