economy

The leather industry played an important role in the industrialization of the city at the beginning of the 20th century. OJ van der Aa founded a leather factory here in 1916. In 1920 the company was bought by Almi , the holding company of the Adler & Oppenheimer group. The factory specialized in the production of calfskin and in 1932 received the title of “Royal” leather factory (Koninklijke Lederfabriek te Oisterwijk) . After the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II, the company came under external management. The factory was sold to Hagemeyer NV in 1966 and, after another takeover in 1974, was renamed Verenigde Koninklijke Lederfabriek te Oisterwijk NV The company existed until 1996.
