Netherlands Trading Company (English: Nederlandsche Handel‐Maatschappij)
After the Napoleonic Wars, Java and other former East Indies colonies were returned to the Netherlands, and a joint stock company was established in 1824 under the initiative of King William I with the aim of ensuring that this colonial trade was in Dutch hands in place of the abolished East India Company. The company gradually regained colonial trade while competing with Britain, and in particular, when the forced cultivation system for sugar, coffee, indigo, etc. was implemented in Java from 1834, the company was responsible for the export and sale of these colonial products to Europe, and at the same time, by purchasing textile products for the colonies, it contributed to the development of the cotton industry in the Twente region (eastern Netherlands).
