Today we celebrate freedom, democracy and human rights in the Netherlands. 🧡
We honor the courage and resilience of those who made our freedom possible, and we appreciate the opportunity to work and grow together in a free, open society.

Bevrijdingsdag, or Liberation Day, is celebrated May 5th to mark the end of World War II in the Netherlands. On this day in 1945, the German forces officially surrendered, and the country was liberated after five long years of occupation. Since then, Liberation Day has grown into a national celebration of freedom, democracy, and the importance of protecting human rights for future generations. Throughout the country, festivals, ceremonies, and moments of reflection remind us that freedom should never be taken for granted.

To all our Dutch customers and colleagues: thank you for your trust, collaboration, and spirit! You are an essential part of the STAXS® Pink Family, and we’re grateful to stand together in a world where freedom is cherished.

Let’s celebrate today with pride, respect, and hope for the future.  🕊️
