Nederlandse Pectine Industrie
The Nederlandsche Pectine Industrie was a competitor of the Nederlandsche Opekta Mij.
Addresses: Rotterdam (1932), Singel 157, Amsterdam (April 1933); Chasséstraat 30 (January 1934); Karel van Gelderlaan 20, Oosterbeek (3 January 1936).[1]
Founded in Rotterdam in 1932 , the company was engaged in the manufacture and sale of pectin and related items. Its product's name was 'Pen-Jel', and the manufacturer competed with Opekta by, among other things, advertising a boiling time of eight minutes ,[2]. whereas Opekta required 10 minutes.[3] In 1939, due to the disappointing fruit harvest, Opekta and Pen-Jel agreed to maintain prices and not give away gifts.[4]
The Nederlandsche Pectine Industrie did business with Sangostop.[5]
The trade information agency Van der Graaf had doubts about the business integrity of its director in 1936, but a year later the agency was more positive.[6]
In 1950, the company was still located at the address in Oosterbeek, which also housed the 'Ned. Malt Prod. Ind.' [7]
