Zeelandia to sell bakery equipment business
Zeelandia has agreed to sell its bakery equipment business, Zeelandia Technical Solutions (ZTS), to Everbake Group to focus on its bakery ingredients portfolio.
ZTS develops, produces, sells and maintains bakery machines and is part of Zeelandia. The bakery machines, with the brand names Zela and Zelamatic, are used in bakeries around the world.
However, Zeelandia says the activities of ZTS do not fit with its strategy to become the leading company in quality bakery ingredients.
Peter Eversdijk, director Everbake Group, says, “The acquisition of ZTS would allow us to improve our position in the national and international bakery machinery industry, and would be an important basis for us to continue to grow our business.”
Everbake and Zeelandia have worked together for some time, supplying solutions to bakeries. Everbake intends to take over all activities of ZTS and keep the existing team of employees. Both companies plan to continue their collaboration after ZTS’ change of ownership, to strengthen each other’s activities.
The deal will take effect on 16 September. Until then, all necessary preparations for the sale will be carried out jointly by Everbake and Zeelandia.
