VarroTec B.V.

Include Industries acquires majority stake in VarroTec to accelerate and expand glass coating technology globally.

Dutch industrial accelerator Include Industries has acquired a majority stake in VarroTec International B.V.. In 2023, Ryan van Esch and Carel van der Leegte, founders of VarroTec, approached Include Industries to help them realize their ambitious strategic goal: becoming the global leader in glass post-treatment technology ensuring continuous manufacturing of glass packaging. Based on the company scaling experience of Include Industries leaders, Ilko Bosman (CFO) and Daan Kersten (CEO), as well as their template-based growth platform, they concluded teaming up would be the best way to continue VarroTec’s sustainable global expansion.

Since its inception in 2017, VarroTec has installed its Hot-End Coating Hoods and Cold-End Coating Spray bridges around the world to allow the largest glass container manufacturers to improve their process uptime, reduce the wall thickness and increase sustainability and quality. By continuously improving its solutions based on an intimate dialogue with strategic customers, VarroTec expanded its installed base and is now looking to diversify in post-treatment of returnables. Glass container recycling is expected to continue to grow and play an important role in reducing waste. Besides the supply of new systems, VarroTec will contribute to the increased reliability of its customers’ production processes by offering a complete portfolio of spare parts. Include Industries will support the founders, who will continue to run the company, in international expansion in Europe, North- and South America and Asia, attracting more talent and automation of the company’s support processes.

The extensive experience of Include Industries’ founders with scaling of high-tech companies based on ambitious goals and industrial professionalism, supports expansion of our activities in the global market of sustainable glass container production on a logical moment. Simultaneously, Include Industries recognizes the ambitious leadership of VarroTec as a good fit to their new industrial group. Our shared pragmatic drive to aim for the highest customer satisfaction while running a clockwork operation, provides a great basis for our collaboration. Moreover, Include Industries’ unique business planning and execution playbook will help us to accelerate VarroTec’s growth.

Dear customer,

Arkema spread several less positive stories about our company VarroTec. In recent months there has been much obscurity as to what is and what is not true. The reason: Arkema informed us that there would be sufficient competition in the market and that VarroTec would be one competitor too many. To suit the action to the word Arkema instituted legal proceedings against VarroTec in November 2018 in the course of which it filed many (unjustified) claims against VarroTec. Thus Arkema tried to prohibit VarroTec to produce and deliver its products. We can, however, not escape the impression that with all these claims Arkema tried to sweep VarroTec, as a competitor, off the map.

After a long wait we finally received the ruling of the District Court last Friday night, 18 January 2019, through our lawyers – Holla Attorneys-at-Law in Eindhoven.

GOOD NEWS!

The court dismissed and rejected the many demands / claims of Arkema, barring on one point.

In conclusion: VarroTec does not act unlawfully against Arkema by producing and marketing Hot- End Coating lines, including spare parts and the various pumps, e.g. the SE-5 and the SE-6.

The only thing that we can no longer communicate is that VarroTec, in combination with the company Moors Mill B.V., was the previous partner and supplier of Arkema in the past. We will post a rectification on our site for this the coming 90 days.

That is why we say 'GOOD NEWS'. Nothing changes for you as a customer because the company VarroTec can simply continue the same service and quality for the delivery of all types of hoods, spare parts and pumps, as you expect from us.

We trust that this information is sufficient for your purpose.

VarroTec B.V.
