WHAT ABOUT THAT SHIP IN THE LOGO?
Since our establishment in 1908, the image of the Halve Maen has always been a central part of our logo. The Halve Maen was a significant ship in Dutch history, particularly during the early years of the 17th century. The ship is most notably associated with Henry Hudson, an English explorer who was hired by the Dutch to search for a new route to Asia in 1609.
Hudson’s journey led him to discover a river that was later named after him – the Hudson River – which he explored and mapped. The discovery of the Hudson River was a critical moment in history, as it paved the way for the transatlantic trade that would eventually become a significant economic force. The Halve Maen’s association with this historic event makes it our symbol of Dutch innovation, exploration and trade.
In addition to its historical significance, the Halve Maen is also a symbol of the relationship between the Netherlands and the United States. Today, the US is a crucial trade partner for our company, with many of our customers and suppliers located there. As a result, the Halve Maen continues to hold great importance for us and serves as a reminder of our shared history.
