Our history
100 years of experience
De Monnik Dranken is a 100% family-owned business founded in 1918 by Hendrik Olde Monnikhof. Hendrik started his local business selling beer in the region around Oldenzaal, transporting goods by dog cart.
After the Second World War, Hendrik was succeeded by his two sons, Henk and Jan. Under their leadership, the business expanded significantly. The drinks wholesale operation grew, additional trucks were added to the fleet and the team expanded.
In 1986, Hans Olde Monnikhof, son of Henk, took over the company. Today, Hans serves as a member of the Advisory Board, while Luuk Olde Monnikhof, representing the fourth generation of the family, is the company’s director. Luuk joined the business in 2014 and has since continued the family tradition with a focus on the future.
