Van Loon Group and Q-group join forces

Van Loon Group and Q-group announce that they are joining forces. Sharing each other’s knowledge and experience in meat and convenience for foodservice and retail will enable the companies to better adapt to the rapidly changing demands of the market. Together, they expect to be able to grow significantly in the Benelux.

Family businesses
Over the past 50 years, the East-Flanders Q-group company, which is owned by the De Bruycker family, has become a market leader in the Belgian foodservice sector. Today, Q-group sells, produces and distributes meat products, cold meats and meat substitutes to over 2,000 large caterers.

Dutch East-Brabant family business, Van Loon Group, is market leader in meat and convenience. Every day, Van Loon Group brings the best, tastiest and most innovative products to the Dutch consumer via retail and foodservice.

A phased participation
In a phased participation of Van Loon Group in Q-group, Van Loon Group will first acquire a minority stake and ultimately takeover the remaining shares, resulting in 100% ownership of Q-group over a period of five years.
