Lamboo Dried & Deco

Impression

On June 20, 2023, the Food & Agri Fund of Anders Invest acquired a majority stake in Lamboo Dried & Deco, the largest Dutch producer of dried flowers and other natural decorations.

Lamboo was founded in 1982 by Koos Lamboo, the father of the current owner and director, Jan Lamboo. Lamboo, a family-owned business, has been active in the sector for about 40 years, and the company is known in the industry for its quality and reliability. Lamboo directly sources from growers, dries and processes the flowers on-site in Lisse, and supplies its products to retailers and wholesalers worldwide. Additionally, Lamboo has the capability to color and package its products.

Over the past 40 years, the company has evolved into a leading player in the field of dried flowers and other natural decorative products. Through this partnership, Lamboo will further strengthen its unique position as a supply chain director and, together with its partners, shape its international growth ambitions. For Lamboo's customers and suppliers, nothing will change. The activities will continue in the same manner and under the same name. Jan Lamboo will remain the director of Lamboo Dried & Deco, and Saskia Korink from Anders Invest will be responsible for guiding Lamboo.

Jan and Francis Lamboo: "In recent years, we and our team have worked on establishing the unique company and quality brand Lamboo. Craftsmanship, quality, and sustainability are central and driving forces. As Lamboo Dried & Deco VOF, we were looking for a partner who can help ensure and expand the continuity and ambitions of our company, and Anders Invest Food & Agri, with its focus on long-term and sustainability vision, is the best partner for us to further realize these priorities."

Evert Hein Schuiteman, partner at Anders Invest: "We are very proud to welcome Lamboo Dried & Deco as the eleventh investment in our portfolio. Our portfolio is characterized by companies that produce or trade high-quality products, and in that sense, Lamboo fits perfectly. Our market research confirmed that Lamboo is globally known for its high-quality products and innovative concepts. Additionally, we are excited about the strong foundation that Jan and his father, Koos, have laid over the past 40 years. We look forward to shaping Lamboo's growth ambitions together in the coming years."
