the story of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek deserves a wide audience
That is why last year the Royal Dutch Society for Microbiology (KNVM) commissioned a mural and a plaque on the site of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek's birthplace
On 13 February, the mural will be officially unveiled at Oosteinde 6 in Delft, with a speech by Professor Jack Pronk, who, as Professor of Industrial Microbiology, follows in Van Leeuwenhoek's footsteps on a daily basis. The artwork is by Tim Rodermans
who wanted it to express wonder and curiosity
Exactly the qualities that must have driven Van Leeuwenhoek to make the observations and discoveries that sparked a scientific revolution

General director Eric Barendrecht of AFL Barendrecht and Gert-Jan Metselaar
director of the New Reijerwaard Joint Scheme
have signed an agreement for the pre-reservation of a plot of more than 2.2 hectares (22,245 m²) at Nieuw Reijerwaard
Founder Alex and general director Eric Barendrecht of AFL Barendrecht with Gert-Jan Metselaar
director of the New Reijerwaard Joint Scheme (GRNR)
Former wholesaler Veiling ZwijndrechtThe Barendrecht Firm was founded in 1971 by Mr
"My father started as a wholesaler of fruit and vegetables at the Zwijndrecht auction
We moved from Zwijndrecht to the ZHZ trade centre in Barendrecht
where the activities were expanded to include fruit and vegetable im and export
At the turn of the century we slowly switched from a wholesaler / importer / exporter to providing logistics services in fruit and vegetables," says Eric
"At that time we were doing the storage of fruit and vegetables and we also started with the fruit and vegetable transport
We started with two trucks and have now grown to a workforce of 45 colleagues and 45 tractor units
In 2008 we took the container transport into our own hands in addition to our conventional transports to provide our customers with that as well
Currently we also work a lot with charters in transport
either for conventional freight or container transport
No expansion options on the Oosteinde"In 2008 we had to leave the three warehouses at the trading centre and moved from there to the Oosteinde in Barendrecht
Here we have grown so much over the past twelve years that we were unable to expand our activities
That is why we chose Nieuw Reijerwaard to expand our logistics activities and to be able to serve our customers better
The company is building a commercial building with parking spaces on Nieuw Reijerwaard
The building will be taken into use at the end of 2022
Gert-Jan Metselaar: “We are very happy with the interest of AFL Barendrecht in Nieuw Reijerwaard
We offer space for the necessary expansion for many companies in the region
Companies within fruit and vegetable logistics are certainly very welcome here
