Queen Máxima on a working visit to Vepa in Hoogeveen

A truly special and proud moment for all of us:

on 1 April 2026, we will welcome Her Majesty Queen Máxima to Vepa the furniture factory in Hoogeveen.

The working visit is part of her programme with Circular Groningen Drenthe, a network of nearly two hundred companies and organisations committed to strengthening the circular economy in the northern regions of the Netherlands.

During King’s Day in Emmen, Queen Máxima already took a seat in our Felt Tub. This upcoming visit will offer her an even broader insight into our company and everything we do on a daily basis to advance the circular economy.

During her visit, Queen Máxima will engage with our management and employees about our ambitions and activities in the field of circularity. The programme continues with a guided tour of the factory, and will conclude with a round‑table discussion focused on scaling up within the circular economy.

We are extremely proud to be part of this working visit. As an authority in the field of circular entrepreneurship, we were selected as one of the two companies invited to provide a tour. It is a valuable recognition of the dedication of our employees and of our contribution to a sustainable and circular industry.
