L'équipe Fespa

After completing his education in business administration at the Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Wouter started working in the family-owned printing company in 2005, which was at the time mainly focused on commercial print and calendars.

In 2008, Wouter became a co-owner of the printing company and shortly after that decided to change the strategy. Commercial print was declining, and the company needed a new solid business unit next to calendars. The philosophy was always to be distinctive from other printers, not only in quality and service, but also in the products they can produce. They then decided to focus on Point of Sale for retailers and brand owners, which resulted in the investment of UV-offset presses and the acquisition of a large format printing company. This is when Wouter was first introduced to the world of FESPA. Today the company comprises 50 people working from two locations in Amsterdam and near Rotterdam, and large format printing is a vital part of the future of our company.

Wouter has been the president of FESPA Dutch Association for almost 5 years now, during which time they have grown their membership, became a profitable association and has continued to help their members.

Wouter is also married to Karin and they share three lovely daughters together.
