Bestowing the honour at a ceremony held at Sparck Technologies’ global headquarters in Drachten on March 13th, Arno Brok, the King’s Commissioner for Friesland, said: “Sparck Technologies has a reputation for innovation, technology, and progress – a solid, healthy and future-proofed company with ambitions. That’s something to be proud of. I am delighted to inform you that His Majesty The King has seen fit to grant the company the Royal designation.”
The Royal Warrant is a special recognition that is only granted to companies that have existed for at least one hundred years and that have achieved and maintained an excellent reputation over that time. Individual board members must be known for their integrity, high standards of social responsibility and have an impeccable character. The company must also be a vibrant organisation that is well-run and contributes to society in a meaningful way.
On receiving the honour, Kees Oosting, CEO of Sparck Technologies, said: “It is a great privilege to receive the Royal designation. This is the crowning achievement of 100 years of entrepreneurship and innovation. Everyone at Sparck is honoured that we have been granted this Royal accolade ‘By Royal Warrant’.”
