Remco Maandag · Owner / General Manager · Van Grasdorff

This video shares the story of a family-owned packaging company, Van Grasdorff, and the values that guide its work. From strict rules on reliability and customer service to the challenges of managing growth, the interview explores what it means to run a business with long-term dedication.

Remco Maandag explains how his parents built the foundation, how he was introduced to the company at a young age, and why taking over is a commitment that requires complete focus.

He discusses the balance between price, service, and stock levels, the impact of crises such as the financial downturn and the pandemic, and the importance of strong partnerships in technology and machinery. When INKISH visits Van Grasdorff, Remco Maandag has three Koenig & Bauer, Rapida 106 machines – all made for packaging – and producing several shifts, keeping everybody busy.

With insights into production processes, investment decisions, and the challenge of finding and training the right people, the story illustrates how a company can evolve from a small operation into a much larger one while staying true to its principles, and Luke Camozzi and Editor Morten B. Reitoft had a fantastic day – almost getting too late for the flight back home 🙂
