Going Green — New Lighting Installation Underway16 Oct

Work has begun on the installation of new high efficiency fluorescent lighting throughout our facility.   These lights are much more efficient than our existing lighting, and they will be turned on and off by motion sensing switches.  We are hopeful that they will have paid for themselves in a couple of years through reduced energy consumption.

Times are tough, expecially here in Michigan, but we continue to invest in the future — and that future, we hope and believe, will be ever better for our planet.

Our History

Koeze Company was founded in 1910 by my great-grandfather, Sibbele Koeze, as a wholesale grocer selling produce, butter, and eggs to small stores around Grand Rapids, Michigan.  His son, Albertus Koeze, took over the business about 1918.  In 1925 Albertus purchased a local peanut butter company, and from then until today peanut butter and roasted nuts have been part of Koeze’s.  My father and mother, A. Scott and Ruth Koeze, began making confections in the 1980’s. My mother retired in the early ’90’s, my father in the late ’90’s, and since then I (Jeff Koeze) have worked to continue our traditions of great products and great service.
