 GAZELLE RIJWIELEN

 Willem Kölling and Rudolf Arentsen originally had agencies to sell imported British bicycles in Holland. Like many similar companies in Europe, once a customer base had been established, they could start making and selling their own brand. Their Gazelle company was established in 1902. Gazelle still exists as one of Holland’s biggest cycle businesses.

The company expanded in the 1920s as a result of their export business in Indonesia (then known as the Dutch East Indies). They built their millionth bike in 1954, and their eight millionth bike coincided with their centenary in 1992.
