Limburg man is Entrepreneur of the Year

Jo Nelissen, owner of the Bilzen-based refrigeration company ABN, has won Young Creative Entrepreneur of 2010, in a ceremony held in Osaka, Japan. Nelissen (pictured) left behind a field of 109 international candidates to go up in the final last weekend. He was previously winner of the title in Limburg and in Flanders.

The participants were all nominated by their local Junior Chamber International representatives. The JCI in Flanders worked together with Flanders District of Creativity to encourage creative entrepreneurs under 40.

ABN was set up in 1996 and now has three facilities in Flanders and one in the Netherlands, with sales last year of €15 million and a staff of 70. The company provides refrigeration, heating and clean-room technology for shops, offices and factories.
