Gebr. Kruitbosch B.V.

History

In 1930 - the severe crisis years - Bernard Kruitbosch started a repair company and trade in jute bags in the center of Gouda at the age of 26.

Eight years later, the company moves to a larger location, partly due to the growing trade in new and used paper bags.

A short time later the company is expanded with 2 buildings in the area.

In 1944 and 1948 the sons Ben and Jan Kruitbosch respectively join the company.

A few years later, the company grows out of its shell and leaves the city center for the Jaagpad in Gouda. It concerns a plot of 4000 m² with some barns

At this location, the focus is more on processing waste paper and metals.

In the 1970s and 1980s, new industrial halls and offices were built and the industrial site was expanded to 6000 m².

The sons Ron and Benno Kruitbosch joined the business at the end of the 1980s.

Shortly afterwards, the first archive shredder was purchased and soon a warehouse destruction facility was put into use.

To cope with the rapidly growing metal trade, the adjacent 2200 m² industrial building was purchased in 2004.

In 2004 our pursuit of quality and customer focus is rewarded by obtaining the ISO 9001: 2000 certificate.

In 2008 we obtained the MRF Quality Mark of the Metal Recycling Federation.

In August 2012 Ron and Benno Kruitbosch officially took over the business from both of their fathers.
