2011. Verkade 125 years.
In 2011 the 125th anniversary was celebrated in a grand way with, among other things, large national consumer campaigns, a party at the Beursplein in Amsterdam and festivities for relations, neighbors, and (old) staff in Zaandam.

Verkade was founded on May 2, 1886. Ericus Gerhardus Verkade opened his Steam, Bread and Rusk factory "De Ruyter". The name "De Ruyter" was chosen with a bow to the past; the first flour mill of West Zaandam carried that name. The products of the first hour were; bread, rusk, honey gingerbread and Langetjes, later also came the famous tea lights. "De Ruyter" (horseman or rider) is still recognizable in the logo of the Verkade brand. In the course of time Verkade switched over to make cookies and chocolate.
