The Dutch company J.W. Attema & Co started importing De Zwaluw brand matches from Sweden into the Netherlands in 1895. Dutch consumers have been buying De Zwaluw matches for over 100 years. De Zwaluw is a well-known brand of matches in the Netherlands and represents quality, warmth, light, tradition and safety.
Our aim is to always produce a match that is safe, reliable and environmentally sound. Our consumers deserve high-quality matches that cannot self-ignite, do not break easily or lose bits of their head on the striking strip.
Our matches are subject to higher requirements than the European standard (EN 1783:1997), and our testing and analysis methods are more complex. Compliance with this standard ensures both distributors and consumers that our matches meet strict quality requirements. The MATCHTEK® standard is a guarantee for safe and reliable matches that are also environmentally sound.
