Story:
BACU, a Dutch supplier of bread, pastries and bakery specialties, acquired the bakery of Dutch variety store-chain HEMA. The acquisition will allow the repayment of the €50 mln loan that Jumbo made to the buyers of HEMA, the Van Eerd family and investor Parcom, at the end of 2020. BACU supplies bread and pastries to Jumbo Supermarkets and will also supply HEMA in the future. In the past century, BACU has developed into a large industrial bakery company with approximately 550 employees providing bread and pastries to 700 stores every day.
