Equity firm acquires controlling stake in Klaas Puul
(NETHERLANDS, 9/1/2016)
Investment firm H2 Equity Partners has acquired a controlling stake in shrimp processor Klaas Puul, whose shares will now be owned by the investment firm, the founding family Mooijer and the management.
“Klaas Puul has a lot of untapped potential, but there are no successors within the family to realize this potential. Together with H2 Equity Partners, we want to realize this potential, allowing us to be an even better partner to our customers, suppliers and employees,” pointed out Evert Mooijer, the firm's current owner.
The firm's new general director, Maiko van der Meer, welcomed the partnership as an opportunity to further expand it by offering distinctive sustainable products for retailers and consumers.
For his part, Rutger Jan Vlek, Investment Director at H2 Equity Partners, explained that Klaas Puul has a strong market position and a lot of improvement and growth potential.
"Together with the Mooijer family, the management and all employees, we will realize this potential. Reinforcing and expanding a family business together with a founding family, by providing capital and active support by H2, is a characteristic investment for H2,” he stressed.
Founded in 1968, Klaas Puul is a leading shrimp processor with its headquarters in Volendam, the Netherlands and production sites in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Denmark and Morocco.
H2 Equity Partners, founded in 1991, is an independent investment firm with offices in Amsterdam and London. This investment firm focuses on medium sized companies with improvement and growth potential in the Benelux, the United Kingdom and Germany, offering these companies a combination of capital and active support by the H2 team.
