Madeira mourns for Jan van Looy.
Jan van Looy passed away on November 24th, 2010. He was the Madeira´s distribution partner of many years for Benelux.

Over decades he managed together with his family to establish the name of Madeira as a reference in the Benelux market and to become a most successful representative in the industry as well as in the handicraft&hobby sectors of embroidery. As a result of his extraordinary commitment, Madeira´s success and reputation are now inseparably associated with his name.

Jan van Looy was known among the members of Madeira´s international team as a very caring and intelligent person who  went through life with a lot of respect and humor. Madeira will keep Jan in grateful memory and offers its most sincere condolences to his family who has been successfully running the company since he retired.
