Renswoude, the Netherlands (December 9th, 2019) - Scholtus Special Products B.V.
(“Scholtus”), a leading supplier of dog and cat treats in Europe and Teeling Petfood B.V.
(“Teeling”), a leading supplier of petfood in Europe, announce that Scholtus acquired certain
assets related to the snack activities of Teeling.
Since 2007 Scholtus has grown significantly through autonomous growth. In addition to this
Scholtus accelerated its growth via the 2011 acquisition of Proline Petfood, a leading supplier of
snacks and treats. Over the last years Scholtus invested heavily in the extension of the
production capacity. “The acquisition of Teeling’s snack activities significantly strengthens
Scholtus’ business and facilitates the next stage expansion of the firm by stepping up the pace
for new product concept introductions and accelerating the expansion in new distribution
channels”, says Jan Smulders, MD of Scholtus Special Products.
Owner of Teeling Petfood Jan-Jaap Roelevink is pleased with the transaction. ‘’Over the last
decade Teeling has built a significant and relevant track record in the production and sales of pet
food in various categories, specifically in wet pet food and snacks. However, to stay competitive
in the areas where our strengths lie we decided to divest our snack activities. This transaction
enables Teeling to intensify our strategic focus on further strengthening our production and
sales activities in private label high quality wet pet food’’, says Roelevink.
