The factory was in operation from 1900-1968. Name of the factories (there were two built after another) were 'de Toekomst 1' and 'de Toekomst 2'. 'Toekomst' meaning: future. Too bad they don't have one anymore. There are plans to at least restore 'Toekomst 2' as industrial heritage good. Photo by Bram van der Westen, summer 2005.
