Press Release
On the 15th of November 2011, the management of Coppens International bv has established a buy-out.
As a result, Coppens Diervoeding bv has withdrawn as a shareholder of Coppens International bv.
This buy-out has been made possible by the investment fund Friesland Bank Investments.
In addition to this, Coppens International bv has acquired an animal feed production facility close to the city of Venlo.
This acquisition will enable Coppens international bv to realize the predicted growth expectations for the coming years, and to prepare for possible changes in the EU feed law concerning the use of animal proteins in fish feeds.
During 2012 this production facility will be made suitable as a specialized fish feed plant.
The plant will be expanded and modernized to state-of-the-art technology in order to maintain the highest quality product in the market, and to further improve the logistics service to the customers.
Coppens International bv expects that production in the new plant will commence in 2012.
Until the new plant is fully operational, the production of Coppens International bv will take place in the current plant in Helmond.
The buy-out and the acquisition of the production facility are important steps in the realisation of the business strategy. An excellent position is created for Coppens International bv and its clients to expand their leading position in the aquaculture markets.
