Small limited liability company & Co. KG
The company
Kleine GmbH & Co. KG, founded in 1906, is a long-established family business based in Hamm. The company is active in the wholesale trade for bakery and confectionery supplies. In its almost 120-year history, it has developed into a recognized player in the regional bakery market. It is particularly impressive for its consistency and outstanding service. As a result, it has been able to continuously increase its turnover to just under €50 million.
The project
In view of the impending company succession, the shareholder of Kleine & GmbH & Co. KG was looking for a strategic partner who would not only continue the traditional business, but also safeguard the long-term interests of the employees. The ideal buyer should respect the proven corporate culture and at the same time equip the company for future growth. Hefe van Haag, also a family-run wholesale company in the bakery supplies and food sector, was found to be the perfect partner to realize this vision.
The process
In the course of a careful and targeted approach to potential buyers, Hefe van Haag was identified as the ideal partner. Both companies share a similar philosophy and attach great importance to sustainable and long-term management.
With the takeover by Hefe van Haag GmbH, the tradition of Kleine GmbH & Co. KG remains in good hands, while at the same time synergies are exploited and new growth opportunities are opened up. Thanks to their decades of experience, both companies are excellently positioned to continue to operate successfully in the market in the future.
The transaction was supervised on behalf of WESTFALENFINANZ by Mr. Peter Schulten and Dr. Kasim Music.
