History
1937
Founding of Bakkerij Holland
In 1937, Hendrikus Holland and his wife started up a small artisan bakery on Oosteinde, the village street of Vriezenveen.
Production and innovation
Hendrikus' entrepreneurial spirit soon emerged and he came up with the idea of baking in lines, which was truly revolutionary at the time.
Due to market demand, the production lines were expanded and further automated.
Besides our location in Vriezenveen, a branch was also opened in Roosendaal to supply the south(west) of the Netherlands and Belgium with our bread, freshly baked each day.
The bakery on Oosteinde was no longer big enough to keep up with the increasing demand and the growing company. This led to the (current) new building location on Watergang.
Here too, the production lines are being further automated and robotised.
Employees
Growth in the bakery's early years led to the first employees being hired.
Jopie Holland completed the administrative work from the first 'home office' (living room).
Our employees are committed to the bakery and its customers day and night, with the goal of growing personally and as an organisation.
Our fleet
The fleet began on a small scale. We set off on a cargo bike to sell our bread to people.
We still remember buying our first brand-new lorries and vans like it was yesterday – we were so happy about this exciting step!
After modernising our first lorries, we acquired our characteristic 'torpedo' Scanias that made our company recognisable on Dutch roads for many years.
Our fleet now has more than 60 modern lorries in Bakkerij Holland's characteristic company colours.
Generation on generation
Leo Holland also joined the company, to continue working on the future of Bakkerij Holland together with his father Hendrikus.
Bakkerij Holland has now seen four generations since it was founded and has grown into a family business where tradition and innovation continue to meet.
