Anders Invest Food & Agri Fund participates in Poultry Company Hillco B.V.

Anders Invest Food & Agri Fund has acquired a majority stake in Hillco Poultry Company B.V. The company produces and sells chicken products for the Dutch, Belgian, and German foodservice markets. Together with the new management team – Jaap Randewijk and Dinand Heijkamp – as well as the existing Hillco team, the focus will be on further growing the business in existing and new markets.

Hillco Poultry Company B.V. is a Dutch family-owned business that has specialized in processing responsible chicken products for over 40 years. Under the brand Family Chicken, Hillco offers a thoughtfully curated range of chicken products aimed at the foodservice sector. Particularly, restaurants, fast-food chains, caterers, and gas stations are among the key target groups. With a strong focus on taste, quality, stability, and clear pricing policies, Family Chicken has secured a strong position in the Dutch foodservice industry. Additionally, Hillco aims to significantly expand its own brand "Smikkelkip" in the coming years.

The company has been transferred from the Van den Brink family to Anders Invest, Dinand Heijkamp, and Jaap Randewijk. The reason for this is that the Van den Brink family sees ample growth opportunities for Hillco and is seeking a suitable new owner to realize these growth opportunities. Therefore, it has been agreed that Dinand Heijkamp and Jaap Randewijk will lead the management and, together with Anders Invest, implement the growth strategy. After a transition period, the Van den Brink family will focus on other activities.

Evert Hein Schuiteman, partner at Anders Invest, is pleased with the arrival of Hillco: "They are a major player in the market with a substantial turnover and solid margins. I am impressed by the high-quality products and the team's expertise in product development and sales. The market is also interesting; although meat consumption per capita is slightly declining, we see growth in the consumption of high-quality chicken snacks, especially in the foodservice channel. This inspires confidence, and we anticipate a wide range of opportunities for Hillco's positioning and strategy."

Ap van den Brink, one of the sellers, says, "We are glad that we could transfer it this way. The enthusiasm and energy of Jaap, Dinand, and the whole team, together with the ambitions and professional support of Anders, provide confidence for the future. Additionally, it is our desire that the Biblical truth of Psalm 127:1 will not be forgotten in the future. Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain."

Anders Invest invests in Genap Anders Invest has acquired a 49% stake in Genap, based in ’s-Heerenberg. Genap delivers custom-made liner and water storage systems for horticulture, agriculture and civil engineering and infrastructure (GWW). The company generates annual revenue of approximately €25 million and employs over 100 people. For decades, Genap has been a leading player in the field of water and liquid storage. From its headquarters and main production facility in ’s-Heerenberg, and its second production location in Steenwijk, the company develops high-quality liner solutions used worldwide. These range from water silos and basins for greenhouse horticulture to sealing solutions for large-scale infrastructure projects and manure storage systems in the agricultural sector. Genap’s strength lies in the combination of in-house material processing, craftsmanship and deep technical expertise. Plastics such as HDPE and LLDPE are processed internally and extensively tested in the laboratory, where R&D and certified welding processes ensure consistent and verifiable quality. Within the civil engineering and infrastructure sector, Genap works on major projects, from roads and tunnels to the sealing of landfills. The company installs large areas of waterproof geomembranes, sometimes more than 100,000 m² per project. Genap particularly distinguishes itself through a capability mastered by only a few parties: the skilled installation of these waterproof layers in wet conditions. Genap supplies and installs its systems worldwide, supported by a network of its own locations and partners. For the international horticulture market, the company has local production and installation capabilities in, among others, Canada and Mexico. This keeps lead times short and enables projects in those regions to be managed directly and efficiently. In the agricultural sector, Genap has been providing reliable manure storage systems for decades. These solutions align with increasingly stringent regulations and play an important role in reducing odor and CO2 emissions. Dick van Regteren will remain in place as CEO and shareholder. With Anders Invest’s participation, Genap will focus on further professionalizing the organization, expanding international production capacity, and continuing to develop solutions for water and manure storage and liner systems for the civil engineering and infrastructure sector.
