Our story

Dayes has over 120 years of experience in developing and distributing everyday essentials. Our history ranges from the more than 100-year-old roots of the Vero and Tala brands to our modern warehouses and offices in several countries, including Nordic Beauty Company in Denmark and Healthpoint in the UK.

Dayes' history is one of innovation and heritage, with a strong brand portfolio that includes Rosewood, Zenner and Sorbo.

Establishment of Vero

1890

Vero's first brush and broom factory opened its doors in 1890: the whole of the Netherlands has been sweeping the streets with their brooms and brushes for more than 100 years.

Establishment of Tala

1899

In 1899, Frederick Taylor and Thomas Law founded the 'Tala' brand, one of Britain's best-loved kitchenware brands for more than 120 years. 

Establishment of Nedac

1962

Nedac introduced the service merchandising concept in 1962, a successful retail solution for non-food products that is still an important service to our customers.

Establishment of Sorbo

1967

Sorbo has been making cleaning tools for every stain and spot for more than 50 years. Many people still remember the iconic slogan: "Sorbo here, Sorbo there, Sorbo is your help at home.".

Everyday Essentials

Since 2021, our company has a new name that perfectly matches our mission: Dayes: Everyday Essentials. And with a new name fits a new coat, namely our beautiful modern headquarters in Zevenaar, to which we moved in 2022.
