Vink Group sells distribution business in UK and Ireland to Robert Horne Group

As per 14 May 2008, Vink has agreed to sell its plastic distribution business in UK and Ireland to Robert Horne Group Ltd in UK and Robert Horne Paper Ltd in Ireland. The business in the UK and Ireland had a turnover of approximately EUR 9 million in 2007 with in total 25 employees and is loss making.

The divestment of the business in the UK and Ireland is the result of the strategy of the Vink Group to have a leading position in the major European countries and to focus on market growth and supply chain optimisation between the countries.

Vink UK and Vink Ireland do not have the critical mass to optimise the local supply chain and to benefit from the supply chain strength of the Vink Group in continental Europe.

The sale of the business in the UK and Ireland will lead to a one time book loss of EUR 0.6 million in 2008.

Robert Horne is the leading paper merchant in UK and Ireland. The acquisition of the business and assets of Vink UK and Ireland will widen their product portfolio and further strengthen their leading market position in particularly the Sign and Graphics market.
