A Royal Decree!

The
Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group
celebrates its 100-year anniversary in 2024. His Majesty King Willem-Alexander, King of the Netherlands, has granted the company the designation ‘Royal’. On Thursday 26 September, the King's Commissioner Wouter Kolff presented the Royal award to the
company.
The Royal designation is only awarded on the occasion of a special anniversary to companies that have prestige in terms of nature, size and reliability and occupy a leading or very prominent position in their field in the Netherlands, preferably with an international reputation. The company must have existed for at least a hundred years and have built up a good reputation during that period.
Peter Rietberg, Chairman of the Management Board: “We are proud of this recognition of what Piet van Leeuwen once started as a one-man business and what has grown into an international, leading company. For a family business, continuity is one of its most important core values. As chairman of the management board, but especially as the grandson of the founder, I consider it a great honor that our company may carry the Royal designation. This is literally the crowning achievement of our work, now also visible in our redesigned logo.”
Joop Sassen, Member of the Management Board and CEO: “Van Leeuwen has grown through innovative entrepreneurship and the knowledge and expertise that we have built up over a hundred years. Without our customers, suppliers and international teams, we would never have been able to achieve our position as a globally leading pipe and tube distributor. The Royal designation underlines Van Leeuwen's strength and stability.”
