Our Board

Wiertz Company is characterized by its professional governance, which consists of three equal pillars: shareholders, supervisory board, and executive board. These pillars ensure balance and provide a solid foundation for the company.

Governance Triangle

Marcel Michiels forms the statutory board with COO Niklas Wiertz, the second generation within the family business. Both will work closely together as external and internal representatives of the organization. The executive team also includes Area Directors Leon van Giezen and Mariska Geven.

For 2024, Wiertz Company is targeting a budget of 100 million euros. In the coming years, the organization aims to further expand its revenue through organic growth and acquisitions. Organic growth will be achieved through entry into new segments and areas, as well as through digitalization.

The Supervisory Board (RvC) serves as the statutory and legal overseer. Its three main responsibilities are: providing requested and unsolicited advice, performing statutory duties such as approving budgets and investments, and acting as the employer for the executive board, including the appointment, suspension, and dismissal of directors.

The Supervisory Board (RvC) consists of Ralph Kerres (Chairman), Willemien de Jong, and Dionne Wiertz. The latter is also one of the founders, a shareholder, and a member of the first generation within the family business.

The shareholders of Wiertz Company are the founders of the company and their three children. The shares are held by the Wiertz Family joint venture, which also acts as the parent and holding company for Wiertz Company. The shareholders are Harm Wiertz, Dionne Wiertz-Buck, Niklas Wiertz, Martijn Wiertz, and Willeke Wiertz. Harm Wiertz, who started the company in 1997 with his wife Dionne Wiertz, currently serves as the Chairman of the shareholders and represents them.

The shareholders oversee the continuity of the organization. They have a decisive role in shaping the long-term vision. The shareholders also ensure the proper functioning of governance and appoint the members of the Supervisory Board.
