The Brabant Company (Dutch - Brabantsche Compagnie), also known as the New Company (Nieuwe Compagnie), was a precursor of the Dutch East India Company (VOC).

The Brabantsche Company was set up in 1599, by

Isaac le Maire, Hans Hunger, Marcus de Vogelaer and Gerard Reynst.[citation needed] In 1600, the Brabantsche Company merged with the Compagnie van Verre to form the Vereenigde Compagnie van Amsterdam.[1] Finally this company and other companies in Rotterdam, West Friesland and Zeeland
merged into the VOC in 1602.
