Aweta aquired for global expansion
Aweta technology makes it possible to sort both fruit and vegetables automatically by external quality (color, shape, damage, diseases) but also by internal quality (sugar, rotten spots, maturity). This ensures, among other things, that there is less fruit that has to be discarded, thereby contributing to a more sustainable food supply.
Guido Grobbink, partner Standard Investment: “Over the past 44 years, Aweta has been able to develop from a local machine-shop in the heartland of the Netherlands agricultural region into a global player with a high-tech product range. We are very excited to be able to support Aweta and her management in the next phase of her development’.
In Western Europe and North America, the major food retailers lead the innovation of new presentations of fruit and vegetables in the store. To achieve higher added value there are increasingly stringent demands on uniform color, shape or maturity. This development will influence the worldwide demand for the high-tech graders that Aweta makes, and is an important pillar for further growth of the company.
Jean-Luc Delcassé, CEO of Aweta: "With the arrival of Standard Investment as shareholders, we expect to be able to accelerate our growth plans, including the introduction of fascinating new products as well the development of China and other new regions." Standard Investment will support the company to further streamline operations and achieve its targeted expansion in the market.
