NETHERLANDS - Steadfast-backed MPS acquires Butina A/S

The deal which was sourced directly by MPS took between three to four months to complete and was financed through the company's cash flow. Butina and its subsidiary Anitec will continue to operate as independent entities.

Butina was founded in 1972 in Copenhagen, and relocated to Holbæk in 1981. It specialises in the development, design and production of CO2-Stunning Systems and Automatic Driveway Systems for handling for porcine meat production. Swedish-Danish company Anitec was established in 1980 in Malmö; and designs the facilities and plants for the hygienic collection of blood from slaughtered pigs and cattle.

Based in Linctenvoorde, MPS develops and installs high-tech slaughtering systems as well as systems for the portioning, de-boning and logistic processing of meat products. Steadfast acquired the company in 2004 in a secondary buyout that saw Penguin Ventures divest its stake in the company.
