Henri Willig is Entrepreneur of the Year 2025!

According to the independent jury of Ondernemend Waterland, Henri Willig stands out for its guts, vision and perseverance. Equally important is the way the company does business, with an eye for the environment, attention for sustainability and a strong focus on quality and customer experience. With some 40 cheese shops at home and abroad, the brand has grown into a powerful calling card for the region.

During the annual New Year's reception, managing director Wiebe Willig accepted the award. He emphasised that success is not the work of one person, but of a team. The award was dedicated to the more than 500 employees who work every day to create opportunities and make a difference with passion.

Waterland main award ensures a flying start in 2026!

Also in 2026, Henri Willig will continue its commitment to corporate social responsibility and to the community in which the company is deeply rooted. With the same energy and commitment with which it once began, the family business continues to build for the future, anchored locally and looking beyond Waterland.
