Catalogue information
Jan Branbergen established himself as a baker in Musselkanaal in 1880. He had great success with non-perishable products such as hard bread and biscuits, which he called 'socials'. In 1912, two sons of the successful manufacturer joined the company. The name was then changed to N.V. Biscuitsfabriek "Het Anker", v/h J. Branbergen Musselkanaal. Under this name, fame grew considerably, also abroad. In addition to biscuits, the factory also started making 'confectionery'. In 1955 Het Anker had approximately 400 employees and was one of the largest employers in the region. https://Collectiongroningen.nl/varen/institution/Streekhistorisch%20Centrum/?cg%5Boid%5D=1310&cg%5Blimit%5D=10&cHash=534f23d0ef32612e5b50014946cf5569
