Overview

Hooymayers was a Dutch firm based in Vlaardingen, near Rotterdam, that manufactured high-quality heraldic coats of arms (wapenschilden). According to Delta International, the company produced these heraldic shields from the 1960s onward, serving clients who used them as marks of identity and representation. Heraldic shields have played an important role as recognition symbols since the early Middle Ages, and Hooymayers carried that tradition into the modern era with craftsmanship and exclusivity. The company ceased production in the early 1920s, according to the account provided by Delta International. After Hooymayers stopped making its shields, Delta International — which had long been active as a producer of coats of arms, among others through the firm Intercrest — continued to serve this market. For dozens of former Hooymayers customers, Delta International has supplied new coats of arms that remain consistent with their existing designs. Since 2020, Delta International has produced exclusively metal coats of arms, a choice intended to guarantee superior finish, a robust appearance and a longer lifespan. These shields combine craftsmanship with exclusivity and are therefore particularly suitable for official and representative purposes. For customers who still hold a stock of Hooymayers coats of arms that is nearly depleted, Delta International offers to deliver a reproduction of the current shield within eight weeks, ensuring continuity and quality. Hooymayers is remembered as a specialist producer whose work is now preserved through the continuity efforts of Delta International. The brand's identity is closely tied to traditional heraldry and to the Dutch market for representative and official emblems.

History

Hooymayers was a Dutch firm based in Vlaardingen, near Rotterdam, that manufactured heraldic coats of arms (wapenschilden) of high quality. According to Delta International, the company produced these heraldic shields from the 1960s onward. Heraldic shields have served as recognition marks since the early Middle Ages, originating during the Crusades, and continue to carry the same function of identity and representation today. Hooymayers thus participated in a long tradition of heraldic craftsmanship, supplying clients who valued these emblems for official and representative purposes. The company ceased production in the early 1920s, according to the account provided by Delta International. After Hooymayers stopped making its shields, Delta International — which had long been active as a producer of coats of arms, among others through the firm Intercrest — continued to serve this market. For dozens of former Hooymayers customers, Delta International has supplied new coats of arms that remain consistent with their existing designs. Since 2020, Delta International has produced exclusively metal coats of arms, a choice intended to guarantee superior finish, a robust appearance and a longer lifespan.
