The approach of Thuis in the market has always been very innovative and forward thinking. As such, the business has been at the forefront of adopting new ideas and implementing new tools.
The Dutch business adds to Thomas International’s existing portfolio of owned businesses across Europe and expands its global operations to direct presence in 8 countries including Belgium, France, UK, South Africa, Australia, Hong Kong and Malaysia. Thomas continues its work with a global network of partners to ensure coverage of all other regions.

Boudewijn has worked with Thomas to build a fantastic business with a strong and loyal customer base. I am delighted that we have been able to work with him to bring his business into our direct ownership. As part of Thomas International, our Dutch colleagues and customers will have even faster access to our product innovations and research to help us deliver together on our vision of realising the true potential in people.”
