Royal Eijsbouts bell foundry

In 1893 Eijsbouts was joined by his 15-year-old son, Johan, and the workshop expanded to begin supplying striking and swinging bells, which were cast at other foundries, with their clocks.

[citation needed] Royal Eijsbouts has been involved in extensive research programs in campanology (the scientific and musical study of bells) for decades.

The order was given to the French foundry Cornille-Havard and Royal Eijsbouts in Asten, where the largest bell (Marie) was produced.

The casting of Marie took place in Asten on 14 September 2012 in the presence of the bishops of 's-Hertogenbosch, Hasselt and the archbishop of Paris.

[2] Also in 2014 Royal Eijsbouts acquired bell foundry Petit & Fritsen in Aarle-Rixtel, their last Dutch competitor.
