	Bonaventura's son Johan joined the company in 1893. Looking for ways to expand the business, he saw bells as a natural adjunct to tower clocks.

Johan's son Tuur Ejsbouts brought engineering and technical expertise to the company in 1924. Tuur applied himself to the study of bell making, culminating in the opening of an in-house bell foundry in 1947. From this time on, the company would become a highly regarded bell foundry. Tuur ~~retured~~ in 1962 when his brother Max took full control of the business.

Royal Eijsbouts Bell Foundry, Asten, The Netherlands

== History ==

Royal Eijsbouts began servicing and manufacturing tower clock equipment. Bells were required for tower clocks so they sourced bells from England to hang with their clocks. With the closing of Gillet and Johnston, Eijsbouts began casting their own bells.

Under the leadership of renowned campanologist Andre Leher, Eijsbouts increased the quality of their bell making and reproduction of not only the English bell profiles, but also the historic Dutch bell founders such as the Hemony brothers.
