Gilde Healthcare buys Eetgemak in SBO
Gilde Healthcare has acquired a majority stake in Netherlands-based Eetgemak, a distributor of chilled meals to Dutch healthcare institutions, from Value8.
The investment is the first transaction from Gilde Healthcare Services III, closed earlier this month on its €200m hard-cap.
The GP has acquired a substantial majority of more than 70% in the business. The deal was sourced in a proprietary fashion, Unquote understands.
The fund invests in lower-mid-market healthcare providers and suppliers of medical products that generate EBITDA of between €2-15m and revenues in the €10-30m range.
With Gilde's support, Eetgemak intends to grow both in the Netherlands as well as in new markets, like Belgium.
Bussum-based GP Value8 acquired a 51% stake in Eetgemak in 2013. The company generated revenues of approximately €17m in 2012, Unquote reported at the time of the acquisition.

The business offers hospitals, care institutions and ordinary consumers an assortment of thousands of different chilled meals. The company is able to cater for different dietary needs of patients and residents in care institutions. Eetgemak employs 200 people.
