VERS OPEN | Networking event for fresh produce professionals

Starting in January 2026, Normec Maas Goodacre will be teaching at a new location: at Van Gelder in Ridderkerk. In the center of the AGF, we will be offering our P modules and all other AGF-related courses. And we are proud of that! When you find such a beautiful location, you naturally want to show it off! And that's exactly what we're going to do! On Wednesday afternoon, February 25, 2026, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., we invite you to come and admire our new teaching location during our VERS OPEN | Networking event for fresh produce professionals.

We are offering a varied program that afternoon, which will of course include a look at our new classroom and the opportunity to take a tour of Van Gelder. In addition, various speakers will take you on a journey into the world of fresh produce inside and outside Normec Foodcare.

• Andy van der Meer, director of Normec Maas Goodacre, will be happy to tell you more about the developments unfolding in the field of fresh produce within Normec Foodcare.

• Ludo Tuijnman, fresh produce trainer, will take you through the latest developments in the field of fresh produce knowledge.

• Peter van der Veeken, fresh produce trainer, will discuss all the fresh produce training opportunities within Normec Foodcare.

The afternoon will conclude with networking drinks. In short, it promises to be an enjoyable afternoon, and we would like to invite you to join us. You can enjoy our new location, meet your colleagues from the sector, and enjoy a drink at the end of the program—all free of charge! There are no costs involved.
