Current Goal

Help Dove weer terug naar zijn geboortegrond. Den Dolder in Nederland. De plek waar zeep fabriek "De Duif" bestond. 

Omdat Den Dolder niet over caches beschikt is er een goede alternatief. Dutch First (GC1C6), de eerste cache in Nederland en op nog geen 1km afstand van waar De Duif bestond.

-----------------------------------------

Help Dove back to his homeland. Den Dolder in the Netherlands. The place where soap factory "De Duif" existed.

Because Den Dolder does not have any caches, there is a good alternative. Dutch First (GC1C6), the first cache in the Netherlands and less than 1km away from where De Duif used to exist.

About This Item

Dove. Een grote naam in zeep producten. Je ziet het overal op de wereld, van Amerika tot Nederland. Wat je misschien nog niet wist is hoe deze naam tot stand is gekomen. Want Dove was niet de eerste naam van het merk. 

In 1902 begon de bouw van een nieuwe fabriek aan de spoorlijn Utrecht-Amersfoort wat later het dorpje Den Dolder werd. De fabriek kreeg de naam "De Duif", in deze fabriek werden allerei zeep producten gemaakt. Niet veel later werd dit bedrijf overgekocht door de Nederlandse Unilever die op dat moment zeer groot aan het worden was.

Na de overname kwam Unilever met een nieuw merk voor persoonlijke verzorging in Amerika. Je gokt het al, Dove! 

Zo is dus een klein lokaal fabriekje in Nederland uitgegroeid tot een bekend merk over de hele wereld.

----------------------------

Dove. A big name in soap products. You see it all over the world, from America to the Netherlands. What you may not have known is how this name came about. Because Dove was not the first name of the brand.

In 1902 the construction of a new factory on the railway line Utrecht-Amersfoort began, which later became the village of Den Dolder. The factory was given the name "De Duif", in this factory all kinds of soap products were made. Not much later, this company was bought by the Dutch Unilever, which was growing very large at the time.

Following the acquisition, Unilever launched a new personal care brand in America. You're guessing, Dove!

So a small local factory in the Netherlands has grown into a well-known brand all over the world.
