Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans

Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans

Ongeveer één jaar na de oprichting van rechtsvoorganger Harteveld Hoos & Co. (14-07-1915), wordt op 27 juli 1916 de naam van voornoemde firma gewijzigd naar Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans, met de toetreding van Abraham Heijermans, die samen met Pieter Harteveld Hoos de directie van de firma gaat vormen. Het bedrijf richt zich op de handel van steenkolen, cokes en briquetten en kan deze activiteiten ongewijzigd voortzetten tot 14 september 1940. Op deze datum moet Abraham Heijermans op verordening van de Duitse bezetter aftreden als directeur van de vennootschap. Het bedrijf zet op 25 april 1942 de activiteiten voort met Adrianus Jan Groenendijk als vervangend directeur. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog keert Abraham Heijermans op 30 juli 1945 terug als directeur van de firma.

Tussen 1956 en 1959 maakt Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans N.V. met vijf andere bedrijven deel uit van de commanditaire vennootschap Kolen- en Transportonderneming Rotterdam (K.T.R.), deze bedrijven zijn: Mineralen Im- en Export Maatschappij Rotterdam N.V., Henri van den Bergh N.V., Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans N.V., Invoer- en Transportonderneming Invotra N.V. en Marcel A.J. Frey Kolenimport N.V.

Vanaf 1964 vinden belangrijke ontwikkelingen plaats in de nationale kolenhandel. Op 9 november 1964 ontvangt Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans een brief van het Ministerie van Financiën met betrekking tot de intensivering van de distributie van aardgas in Nederland. Het ministerie wijst op de nadelige gevolgen voor de kolenmarkt.

Op 15 maart 1967 doet Abraham Heijermans afstand van zijn rol als directeur. Hij blijft procuratiehouder met onbeperkt volmacht, maar draagt zijn directeursrol over aan Nathan Cohen (die voorheen directeur van de Mineralen Im- en Export Maatschappij Rotterdam N.V was, dat onderdeel uitmaakte van de eerdergenoemde K.T.R.). In datzelfde jaar vindt een statutenwijziging plaats waarbij het bedrijf zich naast vaste brandstoffen ook gaat richten op de handel in vloeibare en gasvormige brandstoffen en aanverwante middelen.

Op 31 maart 1967 wordt door de Nederlandse Vereniging van Kolenimport de noodklok geluid. Vanwege de zachte winter van ‘66/’67, de toename van het olieverbruik en het verbruik van aardgas verkeert de kolenmarkt in een crisis. Kolenhandelaren uit de Verenigde Staten en het Verenigd Koninkrijk beginnen de eigen markt te beschermen, waardoor de exportprijs van hun producten stijgt. Dit leidt op de Nederlandse markt tot een disbalans in de vraag-en-aanbod van steenkolen.

In 1972 wordt de B.V. ingevoerd als afzonderlijke rechtsvorm naast de N.V. De achtergrond hiervan was dat N.V. ‘s verplicht de jaarrekening moesten publiceren. In navolging van vele naamloze vennootschappen wijzigt ook Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans de rechtsvorm naar een besloten vennootschap op 5 oktober 1972.

Eind jaren ’70 voert Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans een marktonderzoek uit naar (fluorescerende) lampen en beginnen zij met de handel van respectievelijk de merken Tru-Lite, Duro-Lite en Naturalite naast hun brandstoffenhandel.

Op 6 mei 1991 verkoopt Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans B.V. vijfenveertig aandelen aan Serco Beheer B.V. en komt een einde aan de activiteiten van het bedrijf.

Onderliggende bedrijven en nevenactiviteiten

Onderliggende bedrijven en nevenactiviteiten

Naast eerdergenoemd commanditair vennootschap K.T.R., weet Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans een aantal bedrijven aan zich te binden. De eerste samenwerking wordt aangegaan met de N.V. Interlocale Anthraciethandel; dit bedrijf dat is opgericht in 1934, verkrijgt in 1954 een lening ter waarde van 100.000 gulden van Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans en bindt zich daarmee aan laatstgenoemde.

Op 25 september 1963 ontvangt Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans N.V. vijfenzeventig aandelen in het bedrijf ENCEE-kolen N.V. Op 15 maart 1967 wordt Nathan Cohen directeur van beide bedrijven, nadat Abraham Heijermans afstand doet van zijn directeursrol. Ook de bedrijven Imobra N.V. en Savico Horeca Exploitatie B.V. worden dochterondernemingen van Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans in respectievelijk 1966 en 1970.

Naast de verschillende ondernemingen zijn de directeurs ook actief in verenigingen. Op 4 mei 1933 wordt de vereniging Verkolim (Vereeniging van Importeurs van Huisbrandkolen) opgericht waar Pieter Harteveld Hoos de rol van secretaris op zich neemt. Daarnaast spelen de directeurs ook nog een rol van betekenis bij de verenigingen Vereniging van Groothandelaren in Brandstoffen en Vereniging van Nederlandse Kolenimporteurs. Deze verenigingen fuseren in 1988 tot één vereniging met de naam: Vereniging van Nederlandse Importeurs van – en Groothandelaren in Kolen.

Geschiedenis van het archief

Geschiedenis van het archief

Het archief van Harteveld Hoos en Heijermans heeft een thematische indeling. Notariële akten over bijvoorbeeld de oprichting, de naamswijziging, wijziging van de rechtsvorm en statuten en het vergeven van procuratievolmachten zijn allemaal gebundeld in een map “geschiedenis HHH” en zijn chronologisch gerangschikt. In het mapje “archief HHH” zit correspondentie en reclamefolders met betrekking tot productinformatie, prijsopgaven en telegrammen van handelspartners. Deze zijn alfabetisch gerangschikt op naam van afzender.

Thematisch bij elkaar bewaard zijn ook de agenda’s van 1960 t/m 1991, een mapje met briefpapier in de huisstijlen van het bedrijf, rapporten met productinformatie, een adressenbestand, een aandelenregister, naslagwerken van de Economische Hogeschool Rotterdam (jaren ’40), balansen (1956-1986), kasboeken (1976-1981), jaarrekeningen, aangiftebiljetten (dividend)belasting. Personeelslijsten en pensioenen worden gescheiden bewaard van de directiepensioenen.

De meeste archiefbescheiden dateren van de ‘jaren 50 en later. Van de decennia na de oprichting van het bedrijf in 1916 zijn enkel notariële akten bewaard gebleven. Van de jaren ’40 zijn dictaten van de Economische Hogeschool Rotterdam bewaard, maar van de administratieve neerslag van bedrijfsactiviteiten is uit deze periode weinig bewaard gebleven.
Dit heeft waarschijnlijk als reden dat Abraham Heijermans in de periode 1940-1945 zijn directeursfunctie op verordening van de Duitse bezetter moest neerleggen en het geschonken archief van hem was.

Vanaf de jaren ’50 is uitvoeriger gearchiveerd en als gevolg daarvan is er meer bekend over de bedrijfsactiviteiten van tijdens en na deze periode. Van aandeelhouders en onderliggende bedrijven zijn statuten, aandeelhoudersvergaderingen en correspondentie bewaard gebleven.

Samenvatting van de inhoud

Samenvatting van de inhoud

De archieven van de firma betreffen vooral de groothandel in kolen: vennootschapsakten en statuten, jaarstukken, notulen aandeelhoudersvergaderingen HHH (na 1955), correspondentie, omzetcijfers, overeenkomsten met leveranciers en correspondentie met het Rijksbureau voor Kolen, stukken betreffende het kantoorpand Mathenesserlaan 299, agenda's, adressenbestanden, dictaten Economische Hogeschool (ca. 1942, prof Ten Doesschate) financiële stukken. Ook zijn er stukken van onderliggende BV's, waaronder lampenactiviteiten: Serco, Savico, IFS, Sobet, Truelite, Durotest, Pennplax en Naturalite.

Verantwoording

Verantwoording

Verantwoording van de gemaakte keuzes

Verantwoording van de gemaakte keuzes

Het archief is geïnventariseerd volgens de standaard ISAD(G).

Bij het inventariseren van dit archief zijn een aantal keuzes gemaakt die uitleg behoeven. Zo is voor het aanmaken van rubrieken het criterium van minimaal vijf onderliggende beschrijvingen gehanteerd. Toch is er binnen de rubriek “Bedrijfsactiviteiten” een aantal rubrieken gemaakt (“Dierbenodigdheden” en “Apparatuur”) waarin dit niet het geval is. Deze keuze is gemaakt omdat er een zeer duidelijke scheiding van de bedrijfsactiviteiten te herkennen is in het aangeleverde archief. Daarnaast bevindt zich in elke rubriek onder “Bedrijfsactiviteiten” een zogenaamd blind nummer of blanco nummer (inventarisnummer 137), omdat het onderliggende stuk op alle typen handelswaar betrekking heeft. Het stuk is onder “Steenkolen” geplaatst, omdat dit de oorspronkelijke handel van het bedrijf betreft.

Wat betreft herhaling in de beschrijvingen binnen de hiërarchische structuur van het archief is ervoor gekozen de bedrijfsnaam van de archiefvormer (tenzij relevant) niet te herhalen in onderliggende beschrijvingen. In het geval van dochterondernemingen, overgenomen bedrijven en deelnemingen is herhaling van de bedrijfsnaam wel relevant bevonden om bezoekers die trefwoord-gericht zoeken te helpen.

Bij sommige beschrijvingen is de keuze gemaakt om op de plaats van de redactionele vorm "stukken inzake" te noteren. De archiefvormer heeft vooral bij de administratie van hun financiën over verschillende jaren gekozen om diverse redactionele vormen in één bundel te bewaren. Door "stukken inzake" te gebruiken wordt navolging gegeven aan het respect des fonds-principe. Het gaat in het geval van deze beschrijvingen om bundels met meer dan drie redactionele vormen zonder dat er sprake is van een dossier.

Vernietigingslijst

Vernietigingslijst

De meeste stukken op de vernietigingslijst zijn duplicaten van originele archiefbestanddelen. De vernietiging hiervan behoeft geen verdere uitleg. Op de vernietigingslijst zijn ook bankafschriften en kwitanties van kleine uitgaven openomen. Deze hebben weinig te maken met de bedrijfsprocessen en hebben daarom een geringe informatieve waarde. Omdat het overgedragen archief vrij gefragmenteerd is, is er gekozen de stukken betreffende belastingaangiften van het moederbedrijf te bewaren, maar die van de dochterondernemingen op de vernietigingslijst te plaatsen. Eveneens vanwege de fragmentarische aard van het overgedragen archief is ervoor gekozen de stukken in de rubriek "Documentatie" te bewaren omdat ze interessant zijn voor de context van het archief.
