Verkade was founded on May 2, 1886. Then Ericus Gerhardus Verkade opened his Steam, Bread and Biscuit Factory “De Ruyter”. The name “De Ruyter” was chosen with a bow to the past; the first flour mill in West Zaandam bore that name. The products of the first hour were; bread, rusk, honey gingerbread and Langetjes, later also the tea lights were added. “De Ruyter” is still recognizable in the logo of the Verkade brand. Over time, Verkade switched to making biscuits and chocolate.

"Verkade, there is hardly a more Dutch brand."
