A-ware takes over cheese company from Bodegraven

Dairy group Royal A-ware takes over Noordhoek Gerapte Kaas from Bodegraven. With this, the company wants to further expand its position in the grated cheese market.

Noordhoek Gerapte Kaas is a family business that has been working together for a long time with A-ware.

There is no mention of a takeover sum in the message. The acquisition of Noordhoek is already the third this year. Previously, A-ware took over two dairies in Belgium about.
