Bruynzeel's History
In 1897 Mr Bruynzeel established a company in a wood mill in Rotterdam, the Netherlands and called it “De Arend” (the eagle). Though the name was changed to Bruynzeel a few years later, the eagle is still represented in the current Bruynzeel logo.

Bruynzeel started with the production of shelving systems in 1953. The first shelving systems were made of wood, while in 1970 this was changed to steel. Presently the traditional Bruynzeel shelving is an ultra modern storage system, covering the complete range from archive shelving, mobile shelving - manual and electronically driven - and state of the art (mobile) office cabinets.
