In 1910, Hessel van der Meulen started a small traditional crispbake bakery in Ferwerd. The high quality of these Dutch Rusks soon became a concept in the north of the country. The demand for Van der Meulen Rusk continued to grow considerably and expansion quickly became a necessity.
The company moved to Hallum, where a large bakery was built, especially set up for Rusks, with the name "De Volharding", which means perseverance.
