Netherlands: Heineken family stake sale never considered on the cards
A sale of the Heineken family's stake in Dutch brewer Heineken NV has never been on the cards, family heiress Charlene Carvalho-Heineken said in an interview with Dutch trade magazine Bierblad, according to Reuters, May 25.
"I can honestly say that the thought never entered my head. As a family we are part of the past, present and future of the brewery," Carvalho-Heineken was quoted by the magazine as saying.
"Heineken has from the outset been a true Dutch firm and it will remain so. I cannot imagine a takeover by a larger foreign brewer."
Heineken, the world's fourth largest brewer in terms of sales, is controlled by the Heineken family which has a 50.05 percent stake.
Carvalho-Heineken is the great-granddaughter of the company's founder.
