“The addition of Serrco to the Tefcold Group is allowing us to enter into new areas of our customers business,” said Tefcold CEO Jesper Kirkeby Hansen. “The products and the service set up Serrco has developed is of an outstanding quality and extremely customer friendly.”

Serrco is a Dutch company based in Etten-Leur. It has five employees, an office, and a warehouse there.

“After having successfully grown Serrco to where it is today, we are happy to pass the company over to Tefcold to continue the journey into the future,” said Serrco's co-owner Erik Snijders. 'We believe that being part of a larger group will allow the products to enter a bigger part of the European market.'

Hedwig Kouters, co-owner of Serrco said: “We are very proud of having continuously grown Serrco year by year since its inception. Continuing the growth requires a larger set up that is better done in a bigger European group such as Tefcold . In Tefcold , the products will be present in more locations and larger numbers. Existing customers will not only have access to a larger stock and a full service set up but also a large range of complementary plug-in cooling products and a dedicated digital platform enabling them to be more successful.” 

Serrco will continue with its existing employees and change its name to Tefcold, becoming integrated into the Tefcold Benelux organisation. Kouters will become key account and product director, while Snijders will continue as a part-time consultant to the wider Tefcold Group. 

“I am thrilled to strengthen our team, our position in the Benelux area and our product portfolio,” said Steven van Sweevelt, Tefcold managing director, Benelux. “The new product range fits well into our strategy and our service and supply chain organisation.”

“We are really pleased to add Serrco,” added Tefcold group chairman and majority owner Torben L Christensen. “Acquisitions plays an important part of our growth strategy. Finding and being able to acquire the right companies are critical to our success.”
