History
History
The company was founded in 1909 by Louis Kregel as "Kregel Books". The company initially sold Dutch-language Christian books, generally imported from the Netherlands. Soon after his son, Robert Kregel (aged 20), took over the firm in 1949; the company changes its name to "Kregel Publications" and started publishing classic reprints. Kregel Publications is the oldest of four Dutch-founded Christian publishing houses in the United States, the other three being William B. Eerdmans Publishing (in 1911), Zondervan Publishing (in 1931), and Baker Book House (in 1939), all founded and based in the Grand Rapids area.
