Four generations,
one passion
"W.G. den Heijer & Zn is a family business that started out in 1946 as a fish shop in Scheveningen."
Today W.G. den Heijer & Zn, located right on the fishing harbour of Scheveningen, has grown into an international fish wholesaler with the capacity to meet the demands of modern food professionals.
W.G. den Heijer & Zn buys fresh fish at 12 different fish auctions in the Netherlands and abroad, which guarantees a daily supply. Under the brand name High Seas, W.G. den Heijer & Zn supplies an extensive range of frozen products, produced under direct supervision.
W.G. den Heijer has its own filleting department, where fresh fish is filleted and portioned by hand every day to the customer's wishes. There is also a packing line where the daily supply of fresh fish from the auctions is packed in polystyrene boxes and labelled.
Sustainability matters to W.G. den Heijer, and the company always looks for ways to innovate. The roof of the freezer building carries 368 solar panels. All polystyrene used is processed into EPS blocks, which are then sold on.
Its own fleet of vehicles allows W.G. den Heijer & Zn to deliver throughout the Netherlands every day. W.G. den Heijer & Zn is BRC certified and supplies products with Global GAP, MSC and ASC certification.
