Our history
"de Lange" was founded in 1996 by Dolf ten Houte de Lange and is actually a continuation of the company that his grandfather founded in 1878 in Haarlem under the name Verkruijse & de Lange. Dolf sold the family business in 1989 to a large importer, to start work there. But blood was thicker than water, and in 1996, he decided to start again on his own. The philosophy became: specialist work with small family domains, where quality comes first. In 2008 Paul Frankhuizen, who had worked for de Lange since 1998, became co-owner and in 2016 Dolf sold his remaining shares to Paul. "de Lange" moved in 2018 from the Brabant town of Oosterhout to the adjacent town of Breda and has been based here ever since.
