Boxtel, Monday 20 June 2022 – Vion announces today that Leon Cuypers (43) has been appointed COO Business Unit Pork as of 1 September, succeeding John de Jonge (53), who will be leaving the organisation after a career of almost 30 years with Vion and its predecessors.

We regret his decision but wish him all the best in his new job,” says Ronald Lotgerink, CEO Vion. “Leon has gained extensive experience in various positions within Vion.
