Under Vision 2015, Friesland Foods sees its cheese business as focusing on the development, production, packing and selling of semi-hard Dutch natural and rindless cheeses.
This means Kaasfabriek Eyssen is left out in the cold, since it produces processed and smoked cheese and cheese spreads.
Kaptein is a cheese and butter importer-exporter, and a supplier to the professional market. The two companies have worked together for a number of years.
It is expected that the transaction will be completed by the end of December 2008.
