Slide along the syrup waffles

On March 8, 2018 Gouda opened her newest attraction; the siroopwafelfabriek (syrup waffle factory). A trip to the Siroopwafelfabriek is a fantastic experience that one will not forget. Visitors step into the wonderful world of the siroopwafel. They see how the ‘Kamphuisen’ siroopwafel is baked today. They also hear about the rich history of the product, which the say is the oldest siroopwafel recipe (from 1810!) of Gouda. Do you want to slide along the siroopwafels?

Jan Anker, owner of Banketbakkerij de Vlaam and keeper of the recipe of ‘Kamphuisen’, dreamed for years about an experience around the special siroopwafel of ‘Kamphuisen , the oldest recipe from Gouda. “Nowadays, there is a lot of interest for the craft of making waffles, and people are curious about how a product is made,” says Jan Anker.

Albert Wagener, IJslander: “A craft product: the Siroopfabriek and IJslander found each other there. The slide in the factory is also a real craft product. It is completely tailored made for the Siroopfabriek in Gouda and meets all the requirements. Everything was manually welded, installed and rounded off in a very short period of time, in which the plans had to be adapted to meet all safety requirements. Quite a job, especially in combination with the glassware construction in the factory, but the result is impressive. A real addition to the experience. ”

Walk trough the factory and behold the impressive slide.

Customized Slides

One of the first playground equipment that IJslander made was a stainless steel slide. Now, more than 25 years later, we have created thousands of slides, and can rightfully call ourselves expert in this field. A tunnel slide in the school yard, as escape route instead of a firebreak or for embankment slides? A single or double slide? No problem. Whatever you want, we can make it. Take a look at our slides.

IJslander takes care of your wishes, provides safety regulations and makes customized slides. With our sustainable production process of the stainless steel slides and use of 100% recyclable materials, our smartly designed appliances can be reused for other items. This way we reduce the environmental impact to a minimum and prevent waste of resources. This is IJslander’s interpretation of the Cradle to Cradle concept.
