Quality Guard strengthens its European position with the acquisition of Kooklin.

GIMV

Roeselare, 2 June 2026 – Quality Guard announces the acquisition of French software company Kooklin, a leading provider of digital solutions for food safety and HACCP management. With this acquisition, Quality Guard accelerates its international growth strategy and reinforces its position as one of Europe’s leading players in the food safety sector.

Kooklin is one of the leading players in the French market and benefits from a strong and loyal customer base across the country. Through this acquisition, Quality Guard strengthens its presence in France, one of Europe’s largest foodservice and hospitality markets. The transaction forms part of the company’s broader growth strategy, in which targeted acquisitions complement and accelerate the company’s strong organic growth. It is the second acquisition since investment company Gimv joined Quality Guard as a strategic partner in November 2025.

Quality Guard develops software that digitalises and automates food safety, allergen management, traceability and HACCP processes for more than 9,000 customers across Europe. Its clients include hospitality businesses, supermarkets, bakeries, butcher shops, catering companies, food producers, healthcare institutions and hospitals. By combining intelligent automation with human expertise, the company helps organisations efficiently comply with increasingly stringent European food safety and compliance regulations.

“With Kooklin, we are taking an important step in our European growth strategy,”says Achile Van Gierdegom, CEO of Quality Guard.“France is a key market for us. We share the same vision as Kooklin: making food safety simpler, more efficient and scalable through technology. Together, we will be able to support customers even better in a sector that is rapidly digitising.”

The European market for food compliance and food safety software is growing strongly due to stricter regulations, increasing complexity and the need for digital monitoring. A large part of the sector still relies on paper-based processes. As a result, demand for automated solutions continues to grow structurally.

The acquisition aligns with the shared ambition of Quality Guard and Gimv to further grow into the European market leader in food safety software. In line with this vision, the company intends to continue consolidating a fragmented European market and to develop additional technological innovations.

SI Foods agrees partnership with CVC Capital Partners

CVC Capital Partners

The current SI Foods owners will remain active shareholders and will continue to manage Dodoni, its subsidiaries and its operations

SI Foods Ltd, the majority shareholder of Dodoni SA (“Dodoni”) and CVC Capital Partners VII (“CVC Fund VII”) have agreed to the joint ownership of SI Foods Holding Ltd (“SIF”) whereby CVC Fund VII will hold a majority interest.

The current SI Foods owners will remain active shareholders and will continue to manage Dodoni, its subsidiaries and its operations. The partnership will leverage SIF, and Dodoni, as a platform to grow the presence in particular in the specialty cheese and related sectors through investments and possibly acquisitions in Greece and abroad.

In 2012, Dodoni, the leading Greek dairy and best-selling Greek Feta PDO brand, was privatised by the Greek State and sold to SI Foods Ltd, a group of private investors, including the partners of Lime Capital Partners Ltd. Since its privatisation, the subsequent owners have significantly restructured Dodoni investing in its production facilities, organisation and sales and marketing. As a result, Dodoni’s revenues have almost doubled with about 50% being generated through exports. Since 2012, Dodoni has provided strong support for the primary economy, increasing the number of permanent employees from 270 to over 600 in Greece and having paid more than €0.5 billion to its farmers.

CVC Capital Partners (“CVC”) is a leading private equity and investment advisory firm with a network of 23 offices throughout Europe, Asia and the US. Funds managed or advised by CVC (“CVC Funds”) are invested in over 90 companies worldwide, employing more than 450,000 people.

CVC Funds are also one of the most active investors in Greece with a dedicated team in Athens which has invested or committed more than €1 billion of equity since 2017, including in Hellenic Healthcare Group, e-Travel, Skroutz, D-Marin and Vivartia, as well as recently agreeing the acquisition of Ethniki Insurance.

Tom Seepers, CEO of Dodoni stated: “We are proud to enter into this exciting partnership with CVC enabling us to take the next step in our long-term strategy to transform Dodoni. The current shareholders and management of Dodoni remain committed to their long-term strategy of growing the company and providing stability and security to its suppliers and employees. With CVC we have secured a strong partner with a focus on sustainable value creation, who shares our focus on ESG  and can enable us to accelerate the future development of Dodoni.”

SI Foods is being advised by KBVL, Ionian Capital and Eveda Capital.

Blue Horizon Corporation raises its stake in New Roots, a Swiss alternative cheese producer

Blue Horizon

By Blue Horizon

Zurich, 7 September 2020 – Blue Horizon Corporation, a pure play investment company with focus on investments in innovative companies in the Food 4.0 sector,  today announced that it has raised its equity stake in New Roots, a Swiss based producer of  alternative cheese based on cashew milk in a capital increase completed in August 2020.

Founded in 2015 and based in Thun, Switzerland, New Roots is an innovative vegan cheese start-up. The company’s vegan cheese alternative is made from homemade organic cashew milk and the same artisanal techniques of fermentation and ripening as traditional cheese. It offers a selection of tasty kinds of cheese and joghurts,  including cream cheese, ricotta, camembert and fresh cheese with different herbs and spices, enabling consumers to transition to a plant-based diet. The two largest Swiss retailers, Coop and Migros, both added products of New Roots to their product range.

The cashew nuts are supplied by a partner farm in Vietnam, which was selected based on high quality and human rights standards. Although the cashew nuts are imported from Vietnam, the company’s ecological footprint is smaller than it would be with traditional cheese. From one kilo of nuts 2 kilos of cheese can be produced. With cow milk, in contrast, it takes up to 12 liters for one kilo of cheese. Started in the kitchen of Co-Founder Freddy Hunziker, who sold his first product to the local Eco store around the corner, the start-up quickly developed into a 20 person enterprise. In 2019, New Roots won the Swiss Economic Award in the category Production / Trade & Industry. The investment of Blue Horizon in the course of a capital increase is a major step in the history of the young company.

Freddy Hunziker, Co-Founder & CEO of New Roots said: “We are very excited to have Blue Horizon as a partner which enables us to drive forward new initiatives, increase our product range and capabilities and enhance our brand and network. We share a common vision and look forward to further working together on offering delicious, ethical and sustainable alternatives to traditional cheese made from animal milk.”

Björn Witte, CEO of Blue Horizon, said: “New Roots already has a unique growth story and the company is very well positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for alternative dairy. In particular, the products of New Roots appeal to the taste of consumers. We are happy to bring our experience and operational capabilities into partnership with the young and talented team in order to shape the future of plant based cheese in Switzerland and globally.”

About Blue Horizon Corporation
Blue Horizon Corporation has shaped the growth of the market for alternative proteins since the beginning and accelerates it through targeted investments as a pure play industry pioneer.,.

Based in Wandsworth, London, the brand has annualised sales of £10m and employs 27 people.

With its focus on making healthy eating easy, all Mindful Chef’s meals are healthy and nutritionally balanced, are gluten and dairy free, containing no refined carbs or sugars.

For many customers, Mindful Chef has ignited or rekindled the enjoyment of cooking and a delight in discovering new otherwise difficult to source ingredients and flavours. Customers are also supporting Mindful Chef’s charity One Feeds 2, through their purchases. For every meal purchased, Mindful Chef donates a meal to a child in poverty – to date the company has provided more than 770,000 meals for children in living in poverty.

We are backing a young, dynamic team who are passionate about making healthy eating easier for their customers. We are excited to be joining them and helping them to realise their ambitions.’

Gimv enters into exclusivity with Cerea Capital II to become majority shareholder of La Comtoise alongside the company’s Chairman and founder

GIMV

 

Gimv will acquire a majority interest in La Comtoise, alongside Michel Vanhove and the management team, to support the company in its growth and international expansion

Antwerp (BE) / Louhans and Paris (FR), 30 October 2018, 7:30am – Created in 1994 in Louhans (Saône-et-Loire) by Michel Vanhove, La Comtoise develops and supplies tailor-made cheese solutions to industrial food processing groups, which are integrated into prepared foods such as breaded escalopes (cordons bleus), grilled ham and cheese sandwiches (croque-monsieur), sandwiches and hamburgers. Backed by Cerea Capital II and Unigrains since 2015, La Comtoise has achieved impressive growth to reach a turnover of EUR 33 million with a headcount of 37 people.

La Comtoise is positioned in the buoyant and resilient snacking and processed food segments and has been on a steady growth path for a number of years. With top-quality R&D capabilities and efficient production facilities, it develops tailored products for existing and prospective customers capable of adapting to the most demanding requirements in terms of organoleptic properties, while meeting the highest standards of production processes.

Gimv’s investment comes at a time when the company is doubling its production capacities to 24,000 tonnes a year. La Comtoise is keen to step up its growth with the development of new solutions, notably in cheese sauces. It will thus address a new clientele, particularly out-of-home catering. Drawing on the French expertise in cheese production, which is recognised all over the world, La Comtoise intends to strengthen its international presence. It will benefit from the support of Gimv, which has an extensive business network across Benelux and DACH countries.

Michel Vanhove, Chairman of La Comtoise: “In an effort to bolster our development and strengthen our leading position, we are expanding our production capacity to meet strong demand and accelerate in new segments and export markets. Gimv appears to us as the right partner to achieve this, given the scale of its European network and its insight into the strategic challenges we face in our industry.”

Anne Caron, Gimv Partner and Guillaume Bardy, Principal: “We are very enthusiastic to work with Michel Vanhove and his teams in order to take La Comtoise to the next level. This deal fits perfectly into the investment philosophy of our Connected Consumer platform, which has a good knowledge of the agri-food sector, having invested in this area across France and Europe. Gimv will make all its resources available to actively support La Comtoise in its development in new market segments as well as internationally.”

Antoine Peyronnet, Managing Director of Céréa Capital: “We are very proud to have accompanied Michel Vanhove and his team since 2015. The company’s steady growth is fuelled by its capacity to innovate and expand internationally.  Now that it has taken on a new dimension, La Comtoise is in an ideal position to pursue its development with the support of Gimv.”

The deal is expected to be completed by the end of 2018.
