Owner:Van Eerd family (Netherlands)
OriginNetherlands
Manufactured:Multiple countries

HEMA, an iconic Dutch variety store, provides a wide range of household products, including consumer electronics like these DVD+RW discs. Originally founded in 1926 as the 'Hollandsche Eenheidsprijzen Maatschappij Amsterdam' (Dutch Unitary Prices Company Amsterdam), the brand was established to make quality goods affordable for the general public. While the brand is quintessentially Dutch, its products are manufactured through an extensive global network of suppliers; electronic media like DVDs were typically sourced from specialized manufacturing facilities in regions such as Asia or Eastern Europe.

In late 2025, a significant change in ownership occurred when the Van Eerd family, through their investment vehicle Mississippi Ventures, acquired full ownership of HEMA by purchasing the remaining 50% stake from the Dutch investment firm Parcom. This acquisition brought HEMA under the same ultimate ownership group as the Jumbo supermarket chain, marking a new chapter for the retailer as a fully private, family-owned Dutch entity heading into 2026. The brand continues to focus on its unique 'Dutch Design' philosophy, characterized by practical, well-designed, and affordable everyday items.
