In 1926, Gerrit Maas started his company, under the name G.A. Maas Leder. In 1958, son Jan Maas took over, and his son Gerard Maas did the same in 1985. The passion for leather is clearly in the Maas family&#8217;s DNA. Since 1 July 2019, Gerard&#8217;s son Jurgen has also joined the company, strongly carrying forward the tradition from father to son.<\/p>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"second-col  image-swirl col-8\">\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 172.65 668\">\n    <path class=\"cls-1\"\n        d=\"M0,668h172.65c.5-48.62-25.46-102.33-67.16-129.49-15.68-10.21-31.7-17.13-47.56-25.52-28.47-15.06-46.84-54.39-37.01-82.3,3.7-10.52,12-17.99,20.33-21.89,15.14-7.09,31.16-12.25,47.22-17.17-.12-.3-.06-.15,0,0,9.92-4.01,20.38-6.83,29.63-12.27,18.34-10.77,29.57-30.95,33.15-60.41,3.3-27.18-2.41-54.47-19.31-81.83-6.63-10.73-13.39-21.33-20.07-32.01-20.81-33.23-26.39-62.46-17.14-91.72,3.26-10.31,6.61-20.74,11.23-29.51C118.05,60.9,118.73,32.07,112.94,0H0v668Z\" \/>\n<\/svg>                    <div class=\"image-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/maasleder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Maasleder12545-bedirjfspand.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maasleder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Maasleder12545-bedirjfspand.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/maasleder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Maasleder12545-bedirjfspand-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maasleder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Maasleder12545-bedirjfspand-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maasleder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Maasleder12545-bedirjfspand-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maasleder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Maasleder12545-bedirjfspand-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maasleder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Maasleder12545-bedirjfspand-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/maasleder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Maasleder12545-bedirjfspand-50x28.jpg 50w, https:\/\/maasleder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Maasleder12545-bedirjfspand-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div>                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"content-2-block_64a6026bd07f7721fc7659bc44b9d2b6\" class=\" align-items-top align-text-left align-left text\">\n    <div class=\"background\" style=\"\">\n                <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"row\">\n                \n                \n                \n                <div class=\"col-6\">\n                    <p>A lot has changed over the years.
