Flatfield was co-founded in 1987 by Chris Plat. Frans Pastoor started as its first employee in 1988 and Jeroen Plat followed in 1992. Chris and Jeroen Plat and Frans Pastoor became partners in 1996. Since Chris Plat's retirement in 2008, the two owners of Flatfield are Frans Pastoor and Jeroen Plat.
International business expansion and the need to be near manufacturing partners and clients have encouraged the company to expand its operations in Europe and Asia. Mr. Pastoor is Flatfield's Chief Financial Officer and is also primarily responsible for managing Flatfield's operations in the Netherlands. Mr. Plat relocated to Hong Kong in 2008; he manages Flatfield's global operations including the Hong Kong and Shenzhen offices.
