Owner and founder of SAU. After building the company to it’s current extent as it is today Rogier is now focussing on the innovative and creative part of SAU. By combining a ton of experience built up over many years of making tombstones and his creative skills after graduating from Rietveld academy, Rogier and the company keep innovating on product ideas and production techniques, resulting in being one step ahead of the competition for over 30 years now.
“I am still proud to be working with my crew for so many years and looking forward for some more.”
My hobbies are hiking in the wild, making trips with my 4×4 camper and constructing, working with my hands.
Daphne has been part of the SAU journey from day one in 1989 and played many roles in the company, from being the financial controller to the quality control & packaging role she takes on nowadays. Her sharp end inspection makes sure no failure goes unseen and she makes sure every project is ready for transport.
Daphne likes to go for long walks in nature, visit the highlands of Scotland and spending time with her kids and grandchildren.
Being in the company since 2002 Gepke is one of the driving forces of the team. Where she takes responsibility in many fields in the company, she describes herself as a creative control freak with a passion for customer service. She has the experience and knowledge of turning every request into a succesfull project, which ticks all the boxes that are on the checklist such as budget, creativity in design, deadline and producability.
She loves spending time with her husband and 2 children. Enjoys sailing, skiing, crafting, cooking and having dinner with friends. There are just not enough hours in the day for her. Oh and if you see her holding a drink it’s probably one of those Dutch lager ones. Cheers!
After signing off on your project, Rutger will make sure it runs as smoothly as possible through our factory process. Staying on top of the production schedule, being in close contact with the artwork & production team and making sure all materials are available is just part of his daily routine.
He lives in the City of Cheese (Gouda) with his wife and kids, enjoys camping, having a beer with friends and listening to music . His biggest hobby is playing bass guitar in a band called Out of Office.
