How craftsmanship became a brand that professionals trust
In 1948 in Borculo (Gelderland) the family Ten Bruggencate founded the clothing factory De Berkel B.V., named after the small river that flows through the town. The production of medical professional clothing gave rise to a company that set standards early on - with craftsmanship precision, functional quality and a keen sense of the demands of everyday life in healthcare.

From the region to the world
With growing expertise and the trust of its customers, De Berkel expanded its range to include workwear for the catering, industrial and service sectors. Today, it produces tailor-made collections for large companies as well as durable models for industrial laundries and the food industry.
In the 1980s, the company moved to Varsseveld and relocated part of its production abroad – without losing sight of its roots. From there, De Berkel now supplies customers throughout Europe and continues to stand for quality, innovation and reliability.
