100 year anniversary

Our centenary year has been made even more festive by our being granted the designation ‘Royal’. Paardekooper may now call itself Royal Paardekooper. This honour gave us a good reason to change our Group’s name to one that reflected our rich history. So the PACOMBI GROUP is now the Paardekooper Group.

1919

Paardekooper is founded

In 1919 the Great-Grandfather of fourth-generation Paardekooper, Lyanne, opened a small book and paper shop in Rotterdam. The company expanded and became a flourishing business with a broad range of activities around its core activity of packaging. By 1998 Paardekooper had well and truly grown out of its premises in Rotterdam, so the company moved to a new logistics centre and head office in Oud-Beijerland, where it is still based today.
