Bolletje history 
Gerardus Johannes ter Beek (1843-1933) started a bakery shop at Grotestraat in Almelo at the end of 1867, in a building that his father Albertus Antonius (1802-1868), who was a bread vendor, had before him just before his death. purchased. This company was supposed to be the start of a family business that would become known as Bolletje from the mid-20th century.

Gerardus's son Albert (1877-1958) continued his father's business, but focused more on baking rusks. Already in the 1920s he deposited these rusks with the help of his cargo bike all the way to Deventer. His wife was in the bakery shop in Almelo. Today, this building houses the Bolletje Winkel & Koffieschenkerij and the bakery museum De Meelzolder. The couple had five sons and two daughters who initially all started working in the family business. The eldest son Gerard ter Beek (1915-2006) became responsible for the bakery. After the Second World War, it was decided to tackle rusk production in a big way.

In 1954 the five brothers started an industrial bakery on the Turfkade in Almelo. Johannes Antonius (Jan) ter Beek (1916-2006) was the initiator to change the brand name "Ter Beek's Beschuit". Brother Gerard came up with the name "Bolletje". Bolletje developed into the country's largest biscuit producer, thanks in part to a sophisticated advertising policy by Jan ter Beek with the cooperation of advertising agency De Zuil from Enschede. The company became famous for the advertising saying: "I want Bolletje!", Later proclaimed the advertising slogan of the twentieth century. In 1962 a collaboration was started with the Bachman Bakeries bakery company, also based in Almelo, which specialized in the production of savory snacks.

Arks Bakkerijen B.V. acquired in Heerde. In 1978 a new rye bread factory was opened in Almelo. Subsequently, countless other companies were purchased, such as Tumro from Roermond, Smarius from Tilburg, Meursing from Amersfoort and Schriek's Koekfabriek from Oosterhout. The Varopa brand was bought in 1983. In 1994 Kelderman Broodspecialiteiten BV from Naarden was taken over and in 2000 Jaffa Bakkerijen B.V. from Amsterdam.
