Royal designation for Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group

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."
