About FritsJurgens
FritsJurgens develops and markets contemporary pivot door systems worldwide. Our systems are invisibly present: hidden in the pivot door, made for life.

We are an internationally operating company active in over 90 countries. We work globally and do so from Kolham, near Groningen. At FritsJurgens, we work in our “own” way, in self-organizing teams based on Holacracy, which we put our spin on. Without managers, with much personal responsibility. We are self-managing and believe that only when collaborating as a team do we get further.
You can only work well and innovatively if you have the freedom to do so. This is what we stand for. It is possible to gain experience in various roles, and there is plenty of room for development. This way, you can do what you enjoy the most, what gives you energy, and what ultimately is best for our organization.
