Managing Director Jarno van der Donk is acquiring all shares together with MGF. In the coming years, Homeij aims to continue growing through, among other things, the expansion of high-quality distributorships and the strengthening of its own brands. The overall focus remains on serving the customer optimally with excellent service and a balanced product range.<\/p><p><strong>Second participation of the third MGF fund<br \/><\/strong>Homeij is the second investment of MGF's third fund (MGF III), launched in July 2024, continuing the fund's flying start. MGF III has a target size of \u20ac32 million and aims to invest in 10 to 15 growing SMEs.<br \/>MGF specializes in Management Buy-outs. With MGF's participation, management has the opportunity to become a 100% shareholder in two steps, thereby realizing a complete Management Buy-out. This is possible because MGF acquires only minority stakes and the Director-Major Shareholder has a purchase right on MGF shares for an agreed valuation formula. MGF was founded in 2012 and has already acquired 26 participations within the SME sector with this unique proposition.<\/p><p><strong>About Homeij<br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/homeij.com\/over-ons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homeij<\/a>\u00a0is a renowned wholesaler, importer, and manufacturer of knives and accessories in the Benelux and beyond.
