Bolletje
Gerardus Johannus Ter Beek opened his ‘Ter Beek Bakery’ in 1867. His son helped him delivering the ‘Beschuiten’ with his carrier cycle and in 1927 he took over the business. The whole family worked in the bakery and two shops they had at that time.
After World War II business went so well that in 1954 a factory was built in Almelo where they started producing ‘beschuit’ (rusk). This factory is still the heart of the production of Bolletje products.
Because of the fierce competition in rusks a new brand name was invented: 'Bolletje'. This word translates into little ball and was based on the balls of dough used for baking rusks.
Bolletje decided to expand the product range and in 1967 the pumpernickel (rye bread) was introduced. By taking over other bread and cookie bakeries Bolletje expanded its business and started the production of ‘ontbijtkoek’, known as ‘honeycake’ in the rest of the world.
Dutch people moved to other countries and asked for the Bolletje products. That is how export started. First in New Zealand, Australia, USA and Canada. Later followed by other countries.
Bolletje remains an expert in producing high quality, traditional Dutch products like rusks, rye bread, crackers and honeycake. The products are available in multilingual, export ready packaging.
