Gimv invests in Snack Connection, a leading nut supplier

Today, Gimv is announcing its investment in Snack Connection (www.snack-connection.nl). This Dutch company is purchasing, processing, mixing and packaging nuts and similar products.

Established in 2010 by Managing Director Perry van Otterloo and CFO Rens van Oostrum, Snack Connection provides private label solutions for the European retail and B2B markets. Snack Connection has two modern production sites based in Giessen and Bergschenhoek, in the Netherlands, and employs over 100 people. It provides a solution to the growing demand for convenience and healthy food, thanks to its wide range of nuts and seeds. The company acts as a flexible partner, thinking along with retailers, from a value-added viewpoint. This approach leads to innovative packaging materials, tailor-made designs and joint management of the product offering.

Building on its unique position and strong customer base in the Netherlands, Snack Connection is aiming to continue its expansion across the European market in the coming years. This will happen by developing existing customer relationships as well as entering into new partnerships, both at home and abroad. Gimv’s expertise, that was built up at the occasion of previous investments in the food sector, is certainly of added value.

Perry van Otterloo, Managing Director of Snack Connection, on this partnership: “With Gimv by our side, we hope to become an even better partner for our customers and suppliers. We are relying on Gimv’s knowledge and network to become an active player on the European market. The nut market can look forward to increased interest, also due to its health benefits. In addition, we can accelerate our further plans.”

Arie Hooimeijer, Partner in Gimv’s Connected Consumer Team, adds: “Snack Connection is a unique organisation in an attractive and fast-growing segment. Together with Snack Connection’s founders, we are proud that Gimv can co-shape the future growth of the company. We will use the years of experience in previous partnerships with food companies, such as Vandemoortele and Greenyard, to further enhance Snack Connection’s growth and to further strengthen the customer relationships.”

One key outcome of this investment is Gimv’s acquisition of the current major shareholder Trophas’ share.

The transaction is subject to the customary closing conditions, including approval by the competition authorities. No further financial details of the transaction have been announced.

Gimv invests in Arseus Medical, leading distributor of medical equipment and consumables

Gimv invests in Arseus Medical, leading distributor of medical equipment and consumables

Today, Gimv announced an investment of EUR 15 million in Arseus Medical (www.arseus-medical.be), distributor of equipment and consumables for the medical sector (hospitals, medical specialists, care homes) and supplier of associated services. Gimv takes a substantial interest in the company in addition to the entrepreneurs Cedric De Quinnemar and Jan Ponnet, who took over Arseus Medical in 2014 and who will also stay on board after this transaction. All parties will provide growth capital with the objective of allowing the firm to continue to grow at an accelerated pace in the coming years.

Under the auspices of the current management, the work in the past few years established a strong structure, clear segmentation and a number of expansions including 3 complementary takeovers. In the new partnership with Gimv, Cedric De Quinnemar (current CEO) and Jan Ponnet will continue to contribute to the further growth of the company as members of the Board of Directors. In addition, room will be created for the appointment of a new CEO with a strong MedTech-expertise, helping to lift the firm to the next level.

Arseus Medical NV

From its head office in Bornem  (Belgium),  Arseus is active in the following four market segments; ophthalmology (exclusive distribution of high-tech equipment to ophthalmologists), specialised medical equipment on an exclusive basis for numerous other specialisations (such as cardiology, gynaecology, laser surgery, intensive care units, neuro and vascular surgery, etc.), medical supplies (sale and rental of mobility articles, orthopaedic materials and ostomy and incontinence materials), and the provision of first line care (diagnostics, consumables and devices for general practitioners, rest homes and home care).

In each of these four market segments, the firm holds a leading position and has a strong basis to build on and to expand into adjacent markets. In 2016, Arseus Medical realised a turnover of EUR 30 million with 90 employees, half of whom hold commercial positions.

For the coming years, Arseus Medical has the ambition to grow both organically and by doing acquisitions, while capitalising on an increased demand for care from an ageing population and technological developments that will enable it to provide better care at a lower cost. The company also has the ambition to lead the consolidation in the Benelux of what has been a fragmented market until now. By providing this growth equity, all parties want to strengthen the company’s market position and  grow in each of the four segments. The further internationalisation of the firm is also a priority, with the Dutch market as primary focus. Gimv’s experience in MedTech and Health Care Services is a valuable addition to Arseus Medical, which feels its strategic plan will be bolstered by it.

Cedric De Quinnemar, CEO Arseus Medical, on this transaction: “This collaboration will enable to speed up the current growth trajectory and will also further establish the company as clear market leader. There are a number of possibilities in each of these segments which we can capitalise on more assertively with the new structure. These include, for example, the commercialisation of innovations and new care models, the takeover of interesting complementary companies and the expansion of our services. This will make us an even more valuable partner for our clients, suppliers and personnel.”

Dr. Peter Byloos, Partner within the Gimv Health & Care platform, adds: “The current Arseus Medical is an ideal platform for further acquisitions in a number of specialised sectors at home and abroad. The objective is to further integrate services and thus to create long-term value in a consolidating care sector. We are looking forward to realising this plan with the strong team of Arseus Medical in the coming years.”

In addition to Breath Therapeutics, ImCheck Therapeutics and MVZ Holding, this is the fourth investment by the Gimv Health & Care platform this year. Through the Gimv Health & Care Fund, its specialised team invests in mature health care companies as well as innovative concepts in the care sector. The fund’s current portfolio includes companies such as Almaviva Santé, Benedenti, Eurocept, Equipe Zorgbedrijven, MVZ Holding and Spineart. With the Arseus-partnership, the team continues to build a strong portfolio of growth companies in the healthcare sector in Belgium and neighbouring countries.

No further financial details about the transaction will be announced.

Comtravo, the AI business travel platform raises €8.5 million in Series A round

Berlin, July 6th, 2017. Comtravo closed an €8.5 million Series A financing round co-led by Berlin-based VC Project A and Swedish VC fund Creandum. The AI business travel platform makes booking and managing business trips as simple as sending an email. With the new funding, Comtravo will accelerate their product development and open the door for future international expansion.

Comtravo’s software translates text requests such as email into structured queries using natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence technology to provide the best travel options for individual travelers based on specified preferences as well as previous booking behavior. This way, users can quickly book personalized offers with one click directly in the email.

For small- and medium-sized companies, which account for two thirds of the global business travel market, Comtravo offers an easy-to-use and cost-efficient solution to manage business travel with the additional benefit of a centralized billing system.

“Comtravo is combining the best talent in the space with cutting-edge technology and excellent execution. A perfect mix to tackle a market with huge potential for disruption,” says Anton Waitz, Partner at Project A. “We have been using the product for more than a year and we love it.”

Simon Schmincke, Principal at Creandum adds: “We were immediately convinced by the idea and the implementation. Much of the innovation that already exists in the leisure travel market is still missing in the business travel market. Comtravo has the strongest team in artificial intelligence and travel technology to revolutionize business travel.”

Focusing on research and development in the last year and a half, Comtravo’s technology has evolved to the point that more than 35% of the travel requests are processed fully automated. Experienced travel experts constantly train the software and ensure a superior customer experience. Comtravo combines the services of a classic travel agency with the efficiency of online tools.

“It makes no sense at all that very well-trained travel agents are concerned about simple standard requests, as it is the case in many classic travel agencies. Thanks to our technology, our agents on average need one third of the time that is required in a fully manual process,” explains Michael Riegel, CEO of Comtravo. “At the same time, Comtravo is able to bundle the demand of small- and medium-sized companies to negotiate better conditions for its customers like a purchasing group.”
