About us.

In a world of overconsumption, Brabantia creates household products worth keeping. Products with an iconic design, smart and thoughtful and built to last. We have been doing so for over a century. Since our start in 1919, the Brabantia family business has grown into a global brand known for kitchen and homeware. Our products make tasks around the home more enjoyable, and support and inspire a sustainable lifestyle.

On our end, we work hard on minimising our impact on the planet and contributing to a circular economy. We choose responsible materials and design for durability and repairability. And you can trust that: a guarantee on all products of up to 10 years, 20 years of spare parts and over 100 years of expertise speak for themselves. Designed to last. Brabantia. 

Tijn, CEO Brabantia

"100 years ago we began 
to design products for the way you live and love today."

Designed to last, since 1919.

Brabantia can be found all over the world. We have offices and production facilities from Austria to the US, and from China to Finland. But our roots are in the Netherlands, in the province of Brabant to be precise. That is where in 1919 great-grandfather Van Elderen produced his first milk cans and jugs. We made our first pedal bins in 1952, and our iconic Patrice’ pattern dates from 1969. Now, the fourth generation is at the helm of our family business, and our Dutch Design has won a place in the homes and hearts of millions worldwide.

Sustainability has been part of who we are since the very beginning of our company. Every day, we aim to do better — for ourselves, for others and for future generations. That’s why we use energy and raw materials sparingly and minimise waste and unnecessary consumption wherever possible. Our products are built to last. Especially as we guarantee spare parts for 20 years.

Since March 2023, we have proudly held the B Corp certification. It is a meaningful recognition of our positive impact on people and the environment, which aligns perfectly with our goal of 100% circular design by 2035. We’re fully committed to this. Because we’ve chosen to leave the next generation something beautiful, not a mess.

We love our products, but we love our people even more. As a family company, we take care of each other and future generations. We want to challenge and inspire each other, and make things happen together. As human beings, we value being caring, bold, and ingenious—and we believe in getting things done. We are open and treat each other honestly and respectfully. Safety is central to us, in all respects and above all else.
