Rabo PE backs V&S Food Specialist

Rabo used Rabo Pariticipaties to invest in the business, which usually invests €2-15m in buyout and growth capital transactions in Dutch companies.

Managing director Eric Postma has retained a majority interest in the business, while other management team members also acquired a stake in V&S.  

Rabo will support the company in further strengthening its position in European markets via organic growth and selective acquisitions.
