De Kuyper Royal Distillers is a renowned Dutch family-owned company specializing in the production of premium liqueurs and spirits. Founded in 1695 by Petrus De Kuyper, the company began as a manufacturer of barrels and casks for transporting spirits and beer.

By 1752, the family owned a distillery in Schiedam, the epicenter of Dutch gin production. Over the centuries, De Kuyper expanded its operations and product range, establishing partnerships and exporting to markets across Europe, Great Britain, and Canada.

In 1911, the company built a new distillery in Schiedam and commenced liqueur production, gradually introducing a variety of flavors. The mid-20th century saw liqueurs become the company's primary focus, aligning with changing consumer tastes and the rising popularity of cocktails.
