Jeremy joins de Jong DUKE, (the Dutch manufacturer of award winning coffee & espresso machines like the Nio and Virtu) with more than 20 years of experience in the coffee, office coffee service and horeca business.
Jeremy started his career in the coffee industry with a Dutch wholesaler and coffee machine manufacturer and subsequently founded his own OCS business, Redcup (now part of Lofbergs).
