Oss Attractions

 
The town of Oss, in the Maasland area northeast of 's-Hertogenbosch, was granted a municipal charter in 1399. Its period of prosperity did not begin, however, until the 19th century, when it developed into an important industrial center. Among firms which have contributed to this development have been the Van den Bergh margarine factory and the Organon pharmaceutical plant (part of the AKZO concern), which processes by-products. Van den Bergh later amalgamated with Jurgens and moved to Rotterdam.
