Oranjestad, Aruba – Free Zone Aruba N.V. proudly announces the retirement of our esteemed colleague, Mrs. Betty Heyliger, after an outstanding career spanning more than 33 years in public service and business development.

Betty began her professional journey in 1992 at Directie Posterijen, later joining Directie Personeel en Organisatie (DPO) in 1994. On September 1, 1997, she embraced a new challenge as one of the founding team members of the newly formed Free Zone Aruba N.V., taking on the role of Account Executive. Over the next 28 years, she played a pivotal role in shaping the growth and success of our organization.

Her professionalism, integrity, and great dedication have left an indelible mark not only on Free Zone Aruba N.V. but also on the many colleagues, clients, and partners who had the pleasure of working alongside her. Betty’s commitment to excellence and her warm, collaborative spirit have made her a trusted professional and a cherished friend to many.

July 31st, 2025, was her last work day at Free Zone Aruba N.V. As Betty embarks on this exciting new chapter, the management and staff extend their heartfelt gratitude for her remarkable service. We wish her a retirement filled with joy, health, and fulfillment. Betty will enjoy her well-deserved pension, knowing she has made a lasting difference in our organization and community. On August 5th, we organized a farewell lunch and celebration for Betty with colleagues and ex-colleagues, honoring her contributions and sharing fond memories of her time with us. While we will miss her presence deeply, her legacy will continue to inspire us.

Colleagues, customers, and key partners will surely miss Betty’s dedication, professionalism, and kindness, as she has been an integral part of our story, and we are grateful for all she has done.

Dear client, fellow organizations, and other stakeholders,

We would like to draw your attention to the following.

We are moving.

Free Zone Aruba (FZA) NV will close its existing office at Avenida Milio Croes 118-A, Dakota as of Friday, June 30, 2023.
Our new address will be Nieuwstraat 11 (diagonally opposite Djispie's Place in the main street).
We have attached its location.

Due to ongoing work with the renovation, our new office will not be accessible to visitors for the first 2 weeks of July.
So, please note that our office is therefore closed from July 1 to July 14. We apologize for any inconvenience.

However, we will remain reachable, and if a meeting is required, we will try to arrange an alternative meeting place during this period.

We have a temporary number for the transitional situation: 5650202.

We can also be reached through our general email address: info@fzanv.com.

And in regard to drop-off postal items, these can still be deposited during the month of July in the mailbox at our old address: Avenida Milio Croes 118-A, Dakota.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your cooperation.
