The Netherlands: Heineken acquires Texelse Bierbrouwerij brewery

Beer brewer Heineken takes over its smaller peer, Texelse Bierbrouwerij. Both companies announced this on November 2. The Texel company employs eighty employees, all of whom will be transferred to the new owner, AlKhaleej Today reported.

The brewer of specialty beers such as Skuumkoppe was looking for a strategic partner in order to grow. Together with Heineken, Texelse Bierbrouwerij will work on better availability in the catering industry and growth of production.

Texelse Bierbrouwerij wanted to professionalize further, according to director Cor Honkoop. “We were already very well on track, we have had the best summer ever.” With Heineken as the new owner, the maker of thirteen types of beer will be able to take steps faster.

The Texel company remains autonomous under the Heineken flag. The beer giant also announced that the brewery will remain on Texel. Financial details have not been provided.

The brewery was founded twenty years ago and sells about 35,000 hectolitres of beer annually. The annual turnover in 2018 was around 11 million euros.
