Van Oordt The Portion Company has been around for almost 300 years? Our history goes back all the way to 1734. Naturally, this has endowed us with an enormous amount of experience when it comes to producing and marketing portion packs.
Hendrik van Oordt (1710-1805) was the founder of Van Oordt and a descendant of wealthy Middelburg merchants. His company processed cane sugar that was imported by the VOC. The first application for a sugar refinery on the Wijnstraat in Rotterdam dates from 1734. Followed by a second at the Boompjes in the former brewery, Het Witte Hart. You can still see this symbol in the logo.
