Our history

100 years of experience

De Monnik Dranken is a 100% family business that was founded in 1918 by Hendrik Olde Monnikhof. Hendrik Olde Monnikhof started his local company selling beer near Oldenzaal, using the dog cart as transport. After the Second World War Hendrik Olde Monnikhof was followed by his two sons Henk and Jan. Under their leadership the liquor trade was expanded with several trucks and an expansion of staff took place. In 1986 the current director Hans Olde Monnikhof, son of Henk, took over the company. In 2014, Luuk, Hans' son and currently commercial director, also entered the company. With Luuk, the fourth generation has entered the company.
