Duyvis

[1] In 1806, Teewis Duyvis (1757–1832), member of an anabaptist family of Oostzaandam inherited from his uncle the oil windmill De Ooijevaar [nl] near the Zaanse Schans, where it was built in 1670 and is still operational.

In 1880 Ericus Gerardus Duyvis, son of the second Teewis, built a steam oil factory and still produced mainly cattle-fodder.

During the crisis years turnover declined and the company started producing salad oil for consumer usage.

Throughout World War II oil production declined due to the inability to import the necessary raw materials.

In 2006 Douwe Egberts (a subsidiary of Sara Lee) sold Duyvis to PepsiCo, a soft drink and snack manufacturer.
