In Joure, Egbert Douwes and his wife Akke Thijsses opened their grocery store De Witte Os on the Midstraat in 1753, laying the foundation for what is now Douwe Egberts. To this day, two of our most important factories—producing coffee and tea—are still located here.
At JDE, we work with passion for our heritage in a positive and collaborative environment. Our factories are technically advanced and continuously evolving. Every day, we strive to improve and ultimately become the best-performing factories within JDE.
