Naamloze Vennootschap Margarine Unie (English: Margarine Union Limited) was a Dutch company formed in 1927 in Oss by the merger of four margarine companies, Antoon Jurgens United, Van den Bergh's, Centra, and Schicht's.
The company introduced its manufactured margarine after acquiring the patents and rights to Hippolyte Mège-Mouriès' invention in 1871.
[3] In 1908, Antoon Jurgens United formed a profit-sharing arrangement with Van den Bergh's which had been formed by Samuel van den Bergh and which, like Antoon Jurgens United, was based in the town of Oss, Netherlands.
[1] The merged entity acquired the interests of Van den Bergh's in England (Margarine Union Limited) and those of Van den Bergh's and Antoon Jurgens United in the Netherlands (N.V. Margarine Unie).
[6] Margarine Unie operated until 1930 when it merged with the British company Lever Brothers, to form the multinational Unilever.
