Companies & Industry Editor, Dutch Business Review
Pieter van Dijk covers major Dutch companies, industrial investment, logistics and corporate strategy. His reporting spans listed groups, family-owned industrial businesses and the port and manufacturing systems that make the Netherlands unusually important to European trade.
He focuses on operating performance, capital spending, supply chains and the gap between a company's Dutch headquarters and the global markets where it earns its revenue.
Pieter's company reporting keeps the distinction between Dutch identity and global operations visible. A group can be headquartered in the Netherlands while earning most of its revenue, employing most of its staff or carrying most of its supply-chain exposure elsewhere, and his analysis does not collapse those geographies into one.
His industrial beat is similarly focused on systems. Ports, logistics, manufacturing and specialist suppliers are read together when that is how the business actually operates, with capital expenditure and operating performance used to test corporate strategy against real capacity.
