Jan Speerstra and Tineke Speerstra-Bangma founded Speerstra Feed Ingredients BV together in 1996. Since then, Tineke has been an integral part of the company. Together with Jan and the entire team, she helped build the company to what it is today. Tineke was responsible for the financial side of the business, but her role could not be confined to a single category. From the very beginning, she was actively involved in marketing strategies, product development, and relationships with customers and suppliers both in the Netherlands and abroad. Tineke’s contributions, dedication, creativity, and vision have been invaluable to the company’s growth.
On 18 September 2025, Tineke passed away unexpectedly. Her loss leaves a profound void in our company. Her dedication, knowledge, and experience are deeply missed. But above all, Tineke will be remembered for who she was: a kind and compassionate colleague, devoted wife to Jan Speerstra, a loving and wonderful mother, and a proud grandmother.
