Your high-quality partner in the food industry

A Short Introduction

Edible oils and fats have been our business since 1752! With more than two-and-a-half centuries of experience, we know the food industry inside and out.

When our company moved to the Industrial area 'Zuiderhout' in 1993 we took the opportunity to build a completely new high-quality plant, which is fully equipped to comply with the strict food industry requirements. The customer-oriented and quality-conscious attitude of our employees make Pieter Bon a perfect partner for companies in storage, inventory management of edible oils and fats, and if necessary additional services such as melting, editing, enriching and deodorizing are also available. The tank cleaning and our own weigh bridge are additional services. Skills, technical knowledge and flexibility are well developed at Pieter Bon in order to provide a unique and complete concept, which can be developed and implemented according to the customers' whishes or the product specifications.

Authentic Zaandam Family Firm

Pieter Bon Czn is one of the oldest companies in the Zaandam area; established in 1752. In the 18th century Pieter Bon started in the oil and seeds trade. When prices were right he would sell his products to manufacturers from Zaandam or merchants from Amsterdam. When prices were low he would store the products on the Westzijde in Zaandam. Transport was done via the roads and waterways, primarily by his own ships. In the 19th and 20th centuries Pieter Bon Czn did extremely well and grew along with the starting up and flourishing of the food industry in the Zaandam area particularly in the cocoa processing industry.

Amongst other things Pieter Bon expanded the storage and transport activities by adding the processing of products, filling, packaging and other forms of service provision to third parties, such as tank cleaning, weighbridge and warehousing. The company continued to grow and diversify with transport increasingly taking place by trucks and trains. The extremely long trains with Pieter Bon tank wagons were a well-known sight in the Zaandam area.

Company Relocation

At the end of the 20th century the company premises on the Westzijde had become enclosed by houses to such an extent that expansion and further growth were no longer possible. In 1993, in cooperation with the Municipality of Zaanstad, the company relocation took place to a perfect new site with road and water connection. With the knowledge and experience gained, Pieter Bon now has all the space necessary in order to further develop and improve the professional standard of working for the food industry and the client focused perspective.
