Verkade. 
Verkade was founded on 2 May 1886. Then Ericus Gerhardus Verkade opened his steam, bread and rusk factory "De Ruyter" (The Rider). The name "De Ruyter" was chosen with a bow to the past; the first flour mill of West Zaandam bore that name. The products of the first hour were; bread, rusks, honey gingerbread and Langetjes (kind of biscuits), "De Ruyter" is still recognizable in the logo of the Verkade brand.
