About de Kikvorsch
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.
