About Union Bicycles

Berend-Jan van den Berg, son of a windmill operator, founded the Union
Bicycle Company on the 27th of July 1904 at Dedemsvaart, Holland. At
that time van den Berg was already active in the bicycle trade but he
wanted to establish his own brand. The name 'Union' was coined after
Van den Berg saw a ship named 'Union fait force' on the river Rhine.
The Union company survived the roaring twenties and continued the
production of quality bicycles after World War II.

In 1966 the Union company already produced around a million bikes throughout the Netherlands.

The Union company is a well-established brand in Holland with more than a hundred years of experience in the bicycle industry. For decades they are one of the biggest bicycle producers in Holland.

The Union Company decided to enter the US market because of the demand for city transport alternatives. The Union Brooklyn’s design is based on the traditional Dutch bike first produced in the beginning of the twentieth century. This model, low maintenance, easy & fun to ride, still is the best-sold bike in Holland.

A famous slogan thought up by Berend-Jan van den Berg is still applicable:
"Bicycles will stay famous throughout the centuries"
