De Heus acquires Van der Linden

With the acquisition of Kessels Holding BV, De Heus Voeders is taking an important strategic step in the Dutch and Belgian broiler sector. Kessels Holding BV includes companies such as Van der Linden & Co BV, Van der Linden Diervoeders BV, and Van der Linden Poultry Products BV. The acquisition is aimed at safeguarding the continuity of this family business.

Search for succession successfully completed

The current directors of Kessels Holding, Jan and Geert Kessels, had been searching for suitable successors for some time. The acquisition by De Heus not only ensures stability for the company but also reinforces confidence in a sustainable future for the broiler sector. Geert Kessels will remain involved as operational director for slaughterhouse activities, while Jan Kessels is set to retire soon.

Minimal impact on customers and suppliers

For the suppliers and customers of Van der Linden Poultry Products BV, little will change. Existing agreements will be honored and continued, ensuring business operations remain uninterrupted. With this move, De Heus underscores its commitment to the sector and to the partners of the acquired company.
