Budel is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Cranendonck, 25 km outside Eindhoven. Kempen Airport is located near Budel.
Budel used to be a separate municipality. It merged with Maarheeze in 1997, and changed its name a year later to Cranendonck.[1] It is home to the Budelse Brouwerij, one of the country's largest microbreweries.[2]
South of the town the large zinc smelter of Nyrstar (named Umicore before 2007) is located.
Though located in North Brabant near Eindhoven, the spoken dialect is Budels (linguistically a Limburgish dialect), rather than Kempenlands (linguistically an East Brabantian dialect).
