Based in Schagen, Stegman has been providing gift packages for many companies, institutions and foundations for almost 30 years and through the online choice concept “Personal Note” for 14 years. With the entry of AVerest Capital as investor, Stegman will continue to accelerate the development of its distribution channels and tap into adjacent and new markets.

Stegman was founded almost 30 years ago by Eveline Bakker’s mother, Irene Stegman. The company started out as a traditional Christmas hamper supplier for company employees. Eveline Bakker started building the company early on with her mother and eventually took over Stegman with her husband Jerry Bakker. Together with the Stegman team, they have built a strong platform that is distinctive and flexible. By responding early to digitalization, they were one of the first in the Netherlands with an online choice concept, www.persoonlijkenoot.nl. Through their expertise in gifting and this platform, the emphasis is increasingly shifting towards rewarding employees throughout the year.  Through this strategic approach, Stegman has acquired wonderful clients and a strong foundation has been laid for the future. In the coming years there will be an even greater focus on online positioning and tapping into adjacent and new markets. The growth will be achieved both organically and through a Buy and Build strategy.
