Brabantia is a company founded in the Dutch village of Aalst, manufacturing metal and plastic household products. Today, the headquarters are located in Valkenswaard, North Brabant. No production takes place in the Netherlands anymore.

The company started in 1919 with 15 employees under the name Van Elderen & Co. Originally, it was a metalware company supplying products to agriculture and the cigar industry, such as milk strainers, buckets, funnels, watering cans, and cigar tins.

At its founding in 1919, the company was named "Van Elderen & Co." After some time, the name was changed to "Van Elderen's Metaalwarenfabrieken Brabantia." Around 1941, the first part of the name was dropped, leaving it as "Brabantia" only. "Brabantia" is the Latin word for Brabant.

Brabantia was founded in 1919 in the Dutch town of Aalst by a group of 15 people. A true family business, then and now. With a firm belief in honest products, made by people with a passion for quality. Ideas focused on sustainability – designed for living.
