Westpol-Teeuwissen fully owned by Van Hessen
Van Hessen becomes full owner of Westpol-Teeuwissen on January, the 25th, 2024, by acquiring the remaining shares from joint venture partner Jarosław Aubrecht Prądzyński. Van Hessen and Jarosław Aubrecht Prądzyński both previously owned 50% of Westpol-Teeuwissen in Poland. This acquisition strengthens Van Hessen's leading position in the market of natural casings, meat products and pharmaceutical products.
Continued success
Jarosław Aubrecht Prądzyński and Van Hessen have jointly owned Westpol-Teeuwissen since 2004. Harald van Boxtel, CEO of Van Hessen: "In those more than 19 years, Jarosław Aubrecht Prądzyński and his team have always ensured that Westpol-Teeuwissen could operate successfully. We are delighted that Jarosław Aubrecht Prądzyński is giving us the confidence to continue that success." For Jarosław Aubrecht Prądzyński, the time came to distance himself from Westpol-Teeuwissen: "I look back with great pride at everything I have accomplished with Westpol-Teeuwissen. The employees, customers and suppliers are in trusted hands with Van Hessen." For a period of six months Jarosław Aubrecht Prądzyński will be an advisor to Westpol-Teeuwissen to make a smooth transition possible.
