‘IPM acquisition offers a strategic growth leap for HZPC’

With the proposed acquisition of the IPM Potato Group, Royal HZPC Group takes a further step in the consolidation of the European seed potato sector. The 16.5 million euro deal adds an area of 1,800 hectares and opens markets, specifically in Africa and Asia. The takeover fits perfectly with our growth strategy’, says CEO Hans Huistra. After the Netherlands, he believes Scotland is the top location for seed potatoes and an important additional export base to North Africa. For certificate holders, this means a financial boost, because IPM is a profitable company.
