The history of Wenneker goes back to as early as 16 February 1693. That was the time when Hendrick Steeman was granted a license to erect two brandy Distilling-kettles. It was the very beginning of the distillery which centuries later - in 1812 – came into the possession of Joannes Wenneker. It was his great-grandson Franciscus Wenneker, nicknamed Fokke, who due to a lack of successors sold the company in 1903 to a Malter from Schiedam; Johannes Cornelis van der Tuijn.
That was the first Van der Tuijn generation to take control of Wenneker Distilleries. Today, the fourth generation has been active in the organisation and managing Wenneker Distilleries for years. In the meantime, the distillery has become nationally and internationally renowned for its high-quality range of Genevers. As volume grew steadily and exports increased, Wenneker outgrew its premises in Schiedam. However expansion at that location was not allowed, so the decision was made to move. Roosendaal was chosen from a logistical point of view, as it is located midway between the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp. And so, in 1967, Wenneker moved into the former KvW tobacco factory in the Badhuisstraat. Over the years Wenneker has negotiated a number of takeovers. Famous distilleries such as Piersma, Duys, Smeets and most recently Distillery J.J Melchers Wz. Schiedam (with Olifant (Elephant) as their best known label) were bought by Wenneker during the course of the years, as was the wine merchant Dirk Struys & Zoon. The wine division still operates under the name of Dirk Struys, which for years and years has been a guarantee for a complete range of delicious wines of exceptional quality. Wenneker Distilleries has always moved with the times and still is very much on the move. However, what has not changed and what will never change, is that quality is the priority at all times; craftsmanship is an indispensable ingredient in each of our products. At the same time, an exceptionally high level of service has always been of paramount importance. In this department too you can trust us completely. |
