Fokker first began manufacturing planes in Germany in 1912. On July 21, 1919 Anthony H.G. Fokker founded in Amsterdam the "N.V. Nederlandse Vliegtuigfabriek".

To commemorate Fokker's thirty years of aircraft manufacture in the Netherlands, they were granted the title "Royal Dutch Aircraft Manufacturer Fokker" on 21/07/1949.
Until production ended after Fokker collapsed due to financial problems on March 15, 1996, Fokker have developed and constructed over 100 different types of aircraft, both for military and civil aviation.

Part of the former Fokker business (including the site at Woensdrecht) was taken over by Stork.
