Dewulf announces agreement to acquire Miedema

The Dewulf group has reached a preliminary agreement for the acquisition of Miedema, the one to go to for development and production of modern technology for storage, sorting, transport and planting of potatoes. 

The company markets strong brands, like Miedema, Structural and Smart Solutions. With this acquisition, the DEWULF range of potato and vegetable machines will be strengthened and the group will grow to become the undisputed global leader in this segment of the agricultural machinery manufacturing market. 

Working together, Dewulf and Miedema will be able to provide a complete product range for modern-day potato and vegetable growers around the world. 

The current management of Miedema will stay shareholder of the subsidiary in Winsum (28%), thus ensuring continuity for all stakeholders. Miedema's in-house development, production and management will remain in Winsum (Netherlands). Synergy will be sought primarily in the sales of machinery, the marketing and the purchasing departments of the two companies.
