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 received the designation Royal.

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) specializing 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 center of Geldrop.

In 1982 Klinkhamers Koekfabrieken B.V., in Uithuizen was taken over. This company produces gingerbread and Groninger biscuits.
