Hooimeijer beschuit
'Bolletje' may have taken the honour, but it is the Hooimeijer family from Rotterdam who have made a popular product of the long-life shipping food.

Last century Hooimeijer rusk became a broad concept. In its heyday, 65,000 rusks were baked per hour in the Hooimeijer rusk factory in Barendrecht.

Arie Hooimeijer was a baker in South Rotterdam and had a keen eye for entrepreneurship. At the beginning of the last century he was asked by a local grocer to bake 10,000 rusks. That became his first challenge, then he started thinking that he could deliver packaged rusks to several grocers. In this way he became a factory baker from a simple baker. First a small factory in Rotterdam South, then in 1934 a machine rusk factory in Barendrecht.
