The team

Our employees make Aarts.

The Kessels family now leads Aarts Conserven. We are a close-knit team, working in a family atmosphere. Throughout the year, 45 people are permanently employed, growing to over 120 during the asparagus and cherry seasons. The Aarts DNA flows through the veins of all these employees.
