About de Kikvorsch

d

De Kikvorsch, founded in 1973, has a rich history and a proven track record in the market. The company has made a name for itself as a brand builder, having introduced major brands such as Corona and Tripel Karmeliet to the Dutch market. Today, De Kikvorsch is successfully working with brands like Guinness and Somersby in the Netherlands, serving a broad customer base, primarily within the on-trade channel.

De Kikvorsch. Because specialty beer is too special to leave to anyone but a specialist.

Multi Bier, active since 2003, specializes in supplying both supermarkets and liquor stores. With over 350 suppliers, Multi Bier offers the largest assortment of specialty beers and is a strong, independent player in the Dutch market.

On May 21st, both parties reached a definitive agreement for the 100% acquisition of De Kikvorsch B.V. by Multi Bier B.V. Richard van Duivendijk, sole shareholder and Managing Director of De Kikvorsch since 2015, will be leaving the company. We thank Richard for his significant contribution to the development of De Kikvorsch over the past years.

In the coming period, both locations will maintain their own identity and independence. We will take the time to get to know each other’s operations and company cultures better, with the aim of integrating carefully and thoughtfully in the future.

Patrick Smits, Managing Director of Multi Bier, is optimistic about the future:
“The acquisition of De Kikvorsch is an exciting new step for us. Both companies share an independent spirit and a strong market position, which offers many opportunities for future growth and innovation. It is an honor to welcome this remarkable company into our organization.”

Multi Bier. Maakt ‘t nog specialer.

Thanks to this acquisition, Multi Bier strengthens its position in the specialty beer market.
The combination of both companies will allow us to further develop in the areas of brand building, innovation, and delivering added value to the market.

In the short term, nothing will change for our customers: the same contact persons remain available, and we will continue to provide the best possible service.

We are committed to offering our customers the highest quality and service as we work together toward integration, continued growth, and success.
We are grateful for your trust and look forward to a positive collaboration.

National distribution

There’s not a place in the Netherlands we do not serve. From the very north to the very south; De Kikvorsch’s national strength allows us to communicate flawlessly with you as a catering or retail business. So no matter what specialty beer wishes you and your customers have; we can make them come true.

Beer portfolio advice

If you choose De Kikvorsch for your specialty beer, you choose an independent importer that doesn’t select just any beer brand. Only if we believe in a brand and its brewery, we add the beer to our selection. And then what? Then we’ll visit you with our best beers. Our common goal: increasing specialty beer sales.

Beer brand development

A specialty beer sells best when you give it the attention it deserves. That’s pretty much our motto at De Kikvorsch. And that’s why we like to support you. Naturally, we’ll provide the cases and kegs. And we’ll tell you all about the specialty beers that are part of your selection. But if you want more, we’ll also provide you with matching glassware, advertising collateral and other brand-oriented activities.

National distribution

Thanks to years of experience in logistics, our nationally distributed catering network and well-maintained relationships with all retail customers, we can rightfully be called a nationally operating specialty beer importer. Logistically speaking, our over fifty years of experience enables us to figure out exactly what you need – transporting crates, bottles and barrels of craft beer is our everyday fare.

Beer portfolio advice

Being an independent importer, we only select beers we truly believe in. Our marketeers and beer specialists zoom in on your story. Convinced? We’ll do everything we can to promote your specialty beer – from tap to shelf.

Beer brand development

De Kikvorsch helped many sound beer brands gain popularity. Would you like to put your beer brand on the map in the Netherlands? We can help you with sales and marketing. Our well-founded strategy will help you make your specialty beer brand a success. And if you need any help with packing and repacking activities, SKU optimization, packaging and point-of-sale material, you’re at the right address.
