J.P. Hogewoning Bloemengroothandel took over import-processing company Alkemade International on 1 September.
This takeover formalizes a long-standing trading relationship. The reason for the takeover is the need to further optimize efficiency in the chain. The takeover would also enable both companies to position their core activities more clearly in the sector.
