The history of the Pallieter Group is characterised by strategic decisions that have resulted in a solid position for the company. The clear, unequivocal vision lies at the basis of the management of the various divisions and is the theme than runs through the Pallieter history. In addition, the various decisions that Pallieter took in the past have been influenced strongly by that fact that it was a family firm.
