Royal Houweling
(Bleiswijk, 13 November 2025)
Receipt of the Royal Designation from Mayor Jules Bijl and unveiling of our new company logo
It has been two months since His Majesty the King personally granted the Royal Designation to Houweling Group. During the anniversary celebration on Friday, 19 September, the King’s Commissioner, Wouter Kolff, spoke the following words—words that still give Houweling employees goosebumps with pride:
“Sometimes a company that excels in entrepreneurship, responsibility, and social significance is honored in a way that is reserved for only a select few. It is therefore a great privilege for me to tell you today that this is such a day. It is His Majesty the King himself who has decided to grant Houweling Group the Royal Designation.”
On Thursday, 13 November, we received the Royal Charter. It was presented by our own Mayor of Lansingerland, Jules Bijl. A proud moment we are happy to share with our employees, where we also took the opportunity to unveil our new logo. From now on, we will use the name Royal Houweling.
Our credo is: We Care. We Do. We Fulfill. We are proud of 100 years of entrepreneurship, innovation, social responsibility, and humanity. But we are not fond of self-congratulation. The royal crown stands above the H, in which the H represents cooperation with customers, suppliers, and chain partners.
We are one large family of companies in the fields of packaging, safety, horticulture, transport, and warehousing—both nationally and internationally, with 13 offices in 6 different countries.
Below you will find an impression of the moment our new logo was unveiled and the Royal Designation was presented.
