1926
Holland Bowl Mill has been owned and operated by the same family since 1926, but it hasn’t always produced handcrafted bowls locally. When the company was founded by Chester Van Tongeren nearly 100 years ago, it made wooden shoes in what was the original Wooden Shoe Factory. Today, the Mill is owned by Chester’s grandson, Dave Gier, and produces nearly 1,000 bowls a week, sold globally.
The Holland Bowl Mill is now the largest solid wood bowl production facility in the world, making beautiful solid hardwood bowls of the highest quality, the same way they were made over 150 years ago.
