Wesssanen
Wessanen & Laan was founded in 1765 by cheese trader Adriaan Wessanen and his cousin Dirk Laan as a trading company in mustard, canary and other seeds. Dirk Laan had in fact worked in a seed trade and initially wanted to continue this under his own management, but he found Wessanen co-heir on his way. The cooperation was beneficial for both: Wessanen had money and Laan had knowledge. Adriaan Wessanen left the company in 1789, but his name has been maintained.

From 1824, colonial goods were supplied by the Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij. A steam rice mill (De Unie, from 1872) in Wormer), a cocoa factory and a margarine factory were also set up.
