Inex has announced that it intends to acquire dairy processor Veco Zuivel from dairy company Farmel.
The purchase of Veco Zuivel by Inex is a strategic step that stems from the shared vision of creating added value in the Dutch dairy landscape. The acquisition is subject to approval by Dutch regulator ACM.
The acquisition allows Farmel to fully focus on its core activities, such as providing services to dairy processors and optimally valorizing milk from its almost 300 dairy farmers. “We see opportunities in the market and want to fully concentrate on them. The sale of Veco Zuivel gives us the space to realize those ambitions”, says the dairy company from Emmeloord, the Netherlands.
Veco Zuivel is happy with the takeover. “We think that Inex can offer us the necessary expertise in the field of dairy production and value creation. Together we hope to further professionalize Veco Zuivel and take it to a higher level.”
Thanks to the continued collaboration with Farmel, Veco Zuivel can process various Dutch sustainable milk flows into various (fresh) dairy products.
For Inex, the acquisition of Veco Zuivel is a logical step, as the activities of both companies are well aligned. “Our many years of experience with long-life dairy on the Dutch market is supplemented by the possibilities of Veco Zuivel in fresh dairy. The (Greek) yoghurt, skyr, butter and the wide organic range are a nice addition to our already extensive product range.”
Farmel, Inex and Veco Zuivel look forward to a promising future in the Dutch retail market and are enthusiastic about the new possibilities that this collaboration brings.
