Cheffix
A family business with passion
Cheffix is a close-knit family business in the truest sense of the word. Rolf van Eden, the founder and owner, works alongside his wife Astrid, who handles HR. Their daughters, Nina and Donna, are also involved in the company: Nina as the General Manager and Donna as the Office Manager. For us, it’s not just about professional collaboration, but also about the personal connection that feels like family. Our team is always there for each other, both internally and for our customers. Each of us brings unique expertise and skills to the table, resulting in a well-oiled team that strives for success together.
Tight-knit team in Wageningen
At Cheffix, we have a small, close-knit team in Wageningen, where our headquarters are located. We work closely together, and the small size of our team ensures that we have a real family feeling. This personal atmosphere allows us to know each other well and work together effectively, contributing to the strong foundation of our company.
Nido, our factory
We produce all clothing in our own factory in North Macedonia, Nido, where around 60 employees work. What makes Nido unique is that a large part of the employees are family, creating a close and supportive atmosphere.
The management team is small but plays a crucial role in running the factory. The strong family relationships among the staff contribute to a pleasant work environment and help maintain Cheffix's high standards of quality.
We visit Nido several times a year, and these visits are always incredibly valuable. The factory has truly become like a second family to us, strengthening collaboration and contributing to the quality and consistency of our products.
Fun fact: The name of our factory comes from the names Nina and Donna—"Ni" from Nina and "Do" from Donna.
Dena: the family business behind Cheffix
Dena, the parent company of Cheffix, has been around for over 20 years. With Dena Textile Productions, we produce various types of textiles for hospitality furniture, such as cocktail table covers and tablecloths. When Rolf founded the company, Nina and Donna, who were very young at the time, helped with simple tasks like sticking barcode labels.
As they grew older, Nina and Donna became key members of both Dena and Cheffix. Astrid, Rolf's wife, has also always been closely involved with both companies. Fun fact: The name Dena is composed of the names of the family members. The "D" comes from Donna, the "N" from Nina, and the "A" from Astrid!
