Benelux Head Office
The Benelux head office is situated in Breda and houses service and staff departments of the Benelux organization.
Article
In 1987, Esso the Netherlands, Esso Belgium and Esso Luxembourg merged to form one Benelux organisation. Breda was chosen as the location of the new head office because it is situated midway between The Hague and Antwerp, where the former head offices of the Dutch and Belgian companies were based.
Approximately half of the staff come from the Netherlands, the other half come from Belgium. This is the result of the formation of the Benelux organisation and it has remained the same ever since.
