Update on Eelde: Final Auction Day and Closure in June
May 7, 2026 | 1 min to read
At the end of last year, we reported on the planned closure of our Eelde hub. Since November 2025, we have been in discussion with our staff, growers and buyers regarding the implications for the future. These include support in finding new employment for our staff, and new buying and selling opportunities for our buyers and growers. We would like to inform you about a number of matters, such as the final auction day, the last collection of transport packaging, the farewell gathering and the upcoming sale of the property.
Final Auction Day and Farewell Gathering
The final auction day is on Thursday 25 June, when the last trolley will go under the hammer in Eelde. This will be a special moment that we will reflect on with those involved. We will also do so during a farewell gathering where we will reflect on the closure together with growers, buyers and other stakeholders, but above all with our employees. Those involved will receive an invitation for this in the course of May.
