Vintage orange Brabantia bread bin and stock containers. 

Beautiful original vintage set from the 60s-70s! This fantastic set consists of an orange-colored bread bin with hinged cover and chrome front with orange horizontal stripes with the brand name Brabantia in orange letters. This sturdy bread bin can simply be used as a stand-alone, but it is also suitable for fixing it to the wall by means of screws. Suspension holes are provided at the rear. Very handy to store your bread and it's a real eye-catcher in your 'retro' kitchen.

The biscuit and storage tins for coffee, tea and sugar have an orange exterior with white capital letters. They are equipped with a loose chrome cover. The inside is also orange.

All items are in a neat vintage condition and look very neat for a set which is over 40 years old.

In the seventies it became a real craze to save the household items from Brabantia.

Brabantia is a company founded in the Dutch village of Aalst that manufactures metal and plastic household products. Today, the headquarters is located in Valkenswaard, North Brabant. There is no production in the Netherlands anymore.

The company started in 1919 with 15 employees under the name of Elder & Co. It was originally a metal goods company that supplied to the agriculture and the cigar industry: milk sieves, buckets, funnels, watercourses and cigar cans.

The company grew and founded a sales organization in Belgium in 1948. In 1957 a factory in Valkenswaard, and in 1963 a factory in Overpelt was opened, whereas in 1964 the First Groninger Apparatus and Metalware Factory (EGAM) in Roden was acquired. Sales organizations were established in France (1966), in the United Kingdom (1973) and in Switzerland (1975).

Founded in 1919, the company had the name "Van Elderen & Co". After some time, the name has changed to "Van Elderen's Metaalwarenfabrieken Brabantia". From about 1941 the first part of the name has been omitted, and now it is only "Brabantia". "Brabantia" is the Latin word for Brabant (a Dutch province).

Brabantia was founded in the Dutch town of Aalst in 1919 by a group of 15 people. A family business pur sang. Then and now. With a solid belief in fair products, made by people with a heart for quality. Ideas for sustainability - designed for living.
