Transaction

Albert Premier strengthens its shareholder structure with the appointment of Bart Sevenhans as CEO and co-shareholder, alongside existing shareholder Peter Talpe.

 

This partnership is part of the company’s ambition to accelerate its further growth and strengthen its position as a specialised producer of premium chocolate products. For Albert Premier, the transaction combines continuity, through Peter Talpe’s continued involvement, with renewed momentum following the arrival of Bart Sevenhans as entrepreneur, CEO and shareholder.

 

Bart Sevenhans’ entry brings not only additional entrepreneurship and management experience, but also complementary expertise in strategy, operations and financial steering. This provides Albert Premier with a strong foundation to further accelerate its international expansion, stimulate product innovation and optimise its production capabilities.
