Bart Leemans becomes co-shareholder of Service2Fruit

After a year of service as director of Service2Fruit, Bart Leemans becomes a co-shareholder of our portfolio company. Service2Fruit is the online trading platform for fruit, which strives for fairness and transparency in the industry in an innovative way. Bart Leemans mentions that the idea of becoming a co-owner had been brewing for a while, and there was a good feeling and a clear vision for the future from both sides. Despite his level-headedness, there is also a sense of pride: 'I find it exciting, it signifies a level of trust and mutual commitment."

"In the coming years, we will work tirelessly to expand our mission to other product categories. We truly embody this at Service2Fruit; 'always a fair deal' is still far from being the norm in most product categories. We are currently busy with the launch of the platform for potatoes and developing modern software that can easily adapt to the dynamics of the respective sector. We aim to make the trade in the fresh produce world fairer and more transparent, and we have a proven value proposition. It's time to take really big steps now; I do like to stir things up a bit."

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.
