Run by Frank van Zanten and his father-in-law, Ad van Hoogstraten, the firm was acquired by Bunzl in 1994. The group specialises in masks and protective wear too, playing a key role during the Covid-19 pandemic. Critically too, van Zanten expressed confidence in Bunzl's prospects, despite the worsening economic outlook and rising inflation. Bunzl specialises in items that customers cannot do without, such as packaging for food, gowns for surgeons, and cones for building sites. Van Hoogstraten passed away earlier this month, aged 91, but van Zanten, 55, is determined to build on his father-in-law's legacy.
