Family busines
“Dynamic, with guts”
The Gelissen Group is very proud of being a family business. It enables them to look at long-term prospects rather than being dependent on short-term profit. The proof is in the quality that the Gelissen Group delivers. The family business has a very short management chain, which makes it dynamic and fast, with the guts to react to any chances in the market.
Jean Gelissen founded Gepla in 1987. A few years later, in 1996, he started the development of Toverland together with his sister Caroline. After an initiation phase of 5 years, Toverland opened its doors in 2001. Both companies have grown into very successful organisations. Management teams may have changed over the years, but the family business remains an important pillar, for now and the future.
Our current organisation structure looks as follows:
