And how can this residual product help us\u00a0make the world a better place<\/a>? In 1984, these questions marked the start of our journey.

Meanwhile, Dutch Plantin has fifteen modern production sites in Asia, Africa and The Netherlands. We employ over 1,500 people and supply our products virtually across the globe. How we managed to achieve this, you ask? By joining forces with local producers and grouping our locations in our home country, The Netherlands, in a smart manner from day one.
