About Dutch Bakery
Since its inception in 1936, Dutch Bakery has grown into a modern baking enterprise fueled by a passion for bread. Originating from the gastronomic heart of Brabant, Waalwijk, a member of the Schapendonk family established their bakery, specializing in authentic Brabantian sausage rolls. Through craftsmanship, pure passion, and hard work, the company has reached its current stature.
Today, with six bakeries and hundreds of dedicated employees, Dutch Bakery maintains the family business atmosphere it was founded upon. Each location boasts its unique culture, but all share a commitment to hard work, mutual support, loyalty, and a wealth of knowledge, coupled with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Our Tilburg location is a leading producer of low-oxygen pre-baked bread, supplying nearly every supermarket in the Netherlands and exporting to 14 countries, making Dutch Bakery a market leader in the bake-off bread segment for retail. The Tilburg site employs approximately 100 permanent staff, complemented by a flexible workforce.
