Over the past 10 years we have been working ever more closely with our Dutch colleagues and it is a natural progression for both of the companies to join together.
"I have had the pleasure of visiting the amazing Eersel Campus which is the HQ for Vencomatic in the Netherlands, and count many of their employees as friends. I would like to thank the Van de Ven family, who own Vencomatic, for their generous support and trust over the past 10 years.
"The ethos of Vencomatic Netherlands in their quality of equipment, customer service and importantly, care for the environment, reflects my own personal beliefs. Time has passed quickly, and enjoyably, with my Dutch colleagues, many of whom can now drink brown British beer.
"There are fabulous new innovative products being built by Vencomatic Netherlands, like the meggsius control equipment. The new Eco unit heat exchanger is truly stunning. The Prinzen Palletiser will save farmers a fortune. The future is very bright for Vencomatic in the 海角视频."
Dr Furlong added the new ownership would strengthen the 海角视频 business' customer support operation.
