Holland Colours announces the intention of Jeroen Straathof,
CFO of the company, to explore opportunities outside the
company. Now that the annual report has been finalized and
undersigned already some months with the company, he is of
the opinion the time is there. He will leave the company as
of 31 August 2012.
We regret but respect his decision. We would like to thank
Jeroen for his contribution during the past more than four
years - and I in particular for his support during my first
months - and we wish him all the best in his future
endeavors.

an independent Dutch corporation with offices in North
America and Mexico,

Around 80% of turnover is realized in these three
markets.
Virtually the entire production is generated by our four
principal plants in the Netherlands, Hungary, the United
States and Indonesia.
Holland Colours is organized in three regional divisions that
operate as profit centers in each specific region: Europe
(including the Middle East and Africa), Americas and
Asia.
The global turnover distribution is Europe 55%, Americas 30%
and Asia 15%.
