Production

Cheese factory

Our organisation comprises two cheese dairies where several thousand tonnes of cheese are prepared every year. In Katwoude and in Heerenveen, our Cheesemakers make no less than50 different age and herb cheeses from regular organic cow's, goat's and sheep's milk. This demands a lot from our Cheesemakers. Namely, they have to be able to switch quickly and effectively between the different cheese types.

Logistics

In the Logistics department in Katwoude and Heerenveen, it is a daily challenge to organise all activities related to packaging, refining, maturing, storage and distribution of our cheeses as efficiently as possible so that our customers can get theirquality cheeses receive.

In Heerenveen, our Business Office employees receive the orders from the sales office and use them to draw up the production planning for the cheese factory. As a result, our cheesemakers know when to produce which cheese variety (and in which quantity).

Based on the sales orders, the packing and storage planning is also immediately drawn up by the Works Office employees. As a result, our Logistics employees know exactly when which packaging and finishing activities need to take place.

Finally, the Operations Office instructs the carriers on the basis of the order and production planning so that they can deliver our Dutch cheese specialities at the right time to our customers in more than 50 countries all over the world.

Technical Service

Our Technical Service staff repair mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, control and hydraulic malfunctions in the process equipment in our factories. With their very broad technical expertise, they ensure that cheese production can continue at all times and their inventiveness ensures safer technical situations, a higher production capacity and the sustainability of our organisation.
