Christmas holiday 2019

During the coming Christmas period, the Virgin Nuts factories are closed from 25 December, next to New Year's Day.

Production will resume on the 2nd of January 2020.

Please let us know a.s.a.p. if you need any orders to be ready before the 21st of December 2019. To start the new year with delicious and freshly produced coated nuts and have them delivered in week 1 - 2020, send us your order before Friday 13 December, next.

We wish you happy holidays!

Prices 2020

Every once in a while, macroeconomic influences force us to review our prices. As from the 1st of January 2020 the cost price part of our prices will raise, due to an increasing sugar price, costs of wages and utilities.
From today, all price quotes for 2020 will include the new tariff.

If base material prices will decrease, you probably will not perceive the raise, but if those prices will remain at the same level (or worse: increase), a price change will be perceptible. Obviously, this raise does not affect current contracts.
We appreciate our collaboration and we thank you in advance for understanding.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us by email or telephone (+31 317 612019).

Relatives Canadian war hero enabled to attend commemoration ceremony

On October 5th 1944, the 22-year old Canadian pilot Harold Frederick Wakeman, crashed with his plane at Veenendaal-De Klomp station (NL), while contributing to our liberation.

Exactly 75 years later, Harold’s relatives, including his youngest brother, were invited by the Harold Wakeman Foundation, to attend the commemoration ceremony and unveiling of a monument at the exact location where Harold Wakeman died.

We’re proud to support the HWF in enabling Harold’s relatives to commemorate the 75th anniversary of his death. With a personal note they showed their gratitude to all involved for remembering the lives of their relative and all the others who gave their lives to the liberation of the Netherlands.
