Rooted in efficiency

His  mercantilism and mostly his sharp look to the future has lead to the fact that nowadays the family company is run by the second and third generation.

The second generation van Kampen had inherited this sharp look and took care that innovations were integrated with eager, if it were improvements for the company. The know how of the potatoes en the processing, grew permanent and the vision to buy and sell quality potatoes from the start helped very positively to create a good name for the company.
