Peijnenburg is a household name in the Netherlands, synonymous with 'ontbijtkoek' (gingerbread). The brand's history dates back to 1883 when Harry Peijnenburg started a bakery in Geldrop. Over the decades, it evolved from a local bakery into a national leader in the snack cake segment, known for its distinctive red packaging and traditional recipes.

While the brand maintains its Dutch identity and heritage, its ownership has transitioned to international food conglomerates. Since 2006, Peijnenburg has been a part of Lotus Bakeries, a Belgian multinational best known for its Biscoff cookies. Most Peijnenburg products continue to be manufactured in specialized facilities within the Netherlands, specifically in Geldrop and Sintjohannesga, ensuring the local tradition remains central to the production process.
