Peijnenburg
More than 130 years ago, in 1883, baker Harry Peijnenburg started his bakery and shop in the centre of Geldrop. Like any baker, he worked in the early morning hours on rusks, bread, biscuits and pastries. He and his wife sold the freshly baked goods in their store during the day and those who could not visit that shop could have their fresh goods delivered to their home.

Koninklijke Peijnenburg B.V. is a producer of gingerbread under the brand names Peijnenburg and Wieger Ketellapper. The company has offices in Geldrop and Sintjohannesga. In 1983 the company was awarded the Royal designation.

The company's origins can be traced back to 1883, when Harry Peijnenburg owned a bakery in Geldrop. The gradually growing company was split up in 1915, with son Harry taking over the bread and pastry, and son Johan (Mr. Han) specialized in cakes and pastries. In 1917 the biscuit factory was founded under the name De Bijenkorf. In 1920, it employed 22 people. The company settled in its current location and expanded strongly. In 1952, it was converted into a Limited Liability Company. In 1954 a new factory was opened, still in the centre of Geldrop.
