Royal A-ware and Grupo TGT announced today that they are joining forces. Through this partnership, the two family-owned businesses are combining their expertise to further strengthen their position in the international cheese market and serve their customers even better.
The shareholders of Royal A-ware and Grupo TGT have reached an agreement on the proposed merger of Grupo TGT and Royal A-ware. Grupo TGT is one of the largest cheese producers and cheese distributors in Spain and Portugal, with an extensive distribution network. This will give Royal A-ware an even stronger position in the Southern European dairy market, whilst Grupo TGT, as an independent organisation within Royal A-ware, will be able to build on Royal A-ware’s international production capacity, innovative strength and supply chain integration. Both companies share an entrepreneurial culture, a long-term vision and a strong focus on quality, innovation and sustainable relationships with dairy farmers, customers and partners.
Jan Anker, shareholder of Royal A-ware: ‘Grupo TGT has built up an impressive position in the Spanish and Portuguese cheese markets. We share the same entrepreneurial mindset and a strong focus on long-term relationships. By joining forces, we are creating new opportunities for growth and can serve our customers even better with a wide range of cheese and dairy products.’
Teodoro Garcia, shareholder of Grupo TGT: ‘For Grupo TGT, this is a logical next step in our development. Royal A-ware is a family-run business that shares our values and has a strong international position. Together, we can offer our customers even greater value and build a sustainable future for our company. We are fully confident that Royal A-ware is the right partner for the next phase of Grupo TGT. That is why we, as a family, will remain closely involved, both operationally and financially, in the further development of the entire group.’
Continuity remains a key priority for employees, customers and suppliers. Grupo TGT will continue to operate from Spain and retain its strong market position, local expertise and trusted customer relationships.
The merger is subject to approval by the relevant authorities. Following approval, Teodoro Garcia will join the Supervisory Board of Royal A-ware and Royal A-ware will have three shareholder families with a shared long-term commitment to the business.
