The Amsterdam-based DE Master Blenders and Mondelez International are blending their coffee portfolios into a new company. With combined revenue of more than €5 billion, the new company will be the world’s largest pure coffee company.

Amsterdam: a home to headquarters
The entire deal is expected to be completed in 2015 and the new company will operate from the headquarters of DE Master Blenders in Amsterdam. This decision illustrates that Amsterdam has solidly established itself as a leading location for European headquarters. Especially when large multinationals merge, they are increasingly choosing the Netherlands as a location for their new (legal) headquarters.

Introducing Jacobs Douwe Egberts
The news of the merger was announced in a press statement that notes that the newly created company will be called Jacobs Douwe Egberts. The two companies own some of the world’s leading coffee brands, such as Jacobs, Carte Noire, Gevalia, Kenco, Tassimo and Millicano from Mondelēz International, and Douwe Egberts, L’OR, Pilão and Senseo from D.E Master Blenders 1753.

Attracting international companies
In 2013, 23 international companies established their headquarters in the region. Besides factors such as the neutrality and the fiscal-friendly climate, multinationals find a wide range of internationally oriented business service providers in the region. The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area hosts a large and diverse pool of professional service providers and hundreds of companies in the fields of finance, media, ICT, advertising, venture capital and shared services. Another major selling point for international companies is the excellent accessibility provided by Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
