The qualification is part of Deloitte's Best Managed Companies program. Out of the various BMC surveys Desch emerged as one of the 51 Best Managed Companies. 

Deloitte organises the Best Managed Companies program for the tenth consecutive year. 
Desch Plantpak participated this year for the second time and was again selected as one of the best managed companies in the Netherlands. For this Deloitte assessed the companies using the Business Maturity Model that maps both internal and external company profiles. 

Jan Willem Wieringa, Managing Director: "We are extremely proud that we qualified for the 
2nd time. Especially now that plastic companies are under a magnifying glass, we think we are profiling ourselves as 95% + of our material already consists of recycled plastic. 
Desch Plantpak was already CIRCULAR before it became a fashion statement. In addition, we are within our industry one of the first with D-Grade, our bio product for professional horticulture. With this we are a leading innovator in the plastic world! "
