Experienced leadership
Margriet van Zijl joins Leolux as a new member of the executive team. She brings extensive experience in international marketing, strategy, innovation and sales, having held management roles at companies including Red Band/Venco, Nutricia, Maxi-Cosi, Bugaboo and Accell.
In her new role, Van Zijl will focus primarily on commercial development and market strategy. She also brings experience in the manufacturing sector and a strong emphasis on customer focus and sustainability.
"Leolux is an iconic Dutch brand with a rich history and exceptional craftsmanship," said Van Zijl. "The organisation has everything it needs to enter a new phase of growth. I look forward to working with the team to guide Leolux toward the future in an innovative way."
Continuing organisational transition
Mathijs van der Zwaluw, who joined Leolux in 2024 as operations director, will continue in that role within the new leadership structure. Since joining the company, he has contributed to organisational changes focused on digitalisation, process optimisation and efficient production environments.
Van der Zwaluw played a key role in the organisational transformation the company has undergone in recent years.
"This new leadership model and the arrival of Margriet van Zijl mark a new beginning for our company," he said. "Over the past period we have made important decisions to prepare Leolux for the future. With this step we can now focus on strengthening our position as a leading furniture brand."
With the new dual leadership team, Leolux aims to combine operational expertise with commercial innovation, supporting the company's ambition for continued development in the furniture market.
