Anders Invest acquires KTK Groep from Almelo Anders Invest has acquired KTK Groep from Almelo. KTK Groep is the Dutch market leader in custom containers and press installations. The company achieves an annual turnover of €25 to €30 million and employs over 50 people. KTK Groep is known for its high-quality products and innovative custom solutions. For example, the company is the creator of the lightweight Greenline container, featuring a limited number of frames, folded walls, and the use of lighter steel types. This year, the company is launching a revolutionary concept called Vollov: a lighter and more sustainable variant of the conventional underground collection container, equipped with a steel cylinder or a waterproof bag made of technical textile. The company's headquarters are located in Almelo, where the assembly and coating of the containers also take place. At its recently acquired new location in Hattemerbroek, the company performs service and maintenance work and operates an extensive field service team of technicians who work nationwide. KTK has its own engineering and business office and outsources the production of basic containers. Additionally, the company is an importer of Husmann and Kiggen press installations. Its customers include waste processing companies, municipalities, and a wide range of industrial clients. The shares in KTK Groep were acquired from Vincent Janssen, Tonnie Touwen, and Stephan van Uitert. They will continue to lead the company and, together with Anders Invest, will further shape the growth of the business.

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."
