US private equity player
buys Dutch firm
A New York-based private equity firm has bought a company in the Netherlands that manufactures speciality ingredients for the food, pharmaceutical and animal feed markets.
Arsenal Capital Partners, which invests in the industrial, healthcare and financial services sectors, bought DSM Special Products from Royal DSM for an undisclosed sum.
Arsenal principal John Televantos said: “This acquisition of DSM Special Products is an excellent fit with our investment strategy in the specialty chemicals sector to acquire mid-size, niche market leaders in higher growth sectors that are supported by strong management teams.”
The acquirer’s US counsel was Daniel Eisner, a partner at Proskauer Rose, while Gaike Dalenoord of NautaDutilh handled the Dutch legal aspects of the deal.
NautaDutilh is one of the leading independent law firms in the Benelux and one of Europe’s pre-eminent law firms. It is also the largest law firm in the Benelux market with 400 lawyers, civil law notaries and tax advisers in offices in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Luxembourg, Brussels, London and New York. NautaDutilh works in close co-operation with premier law firms worldwide on a non-exclusive basis. The firm provides a broad range of high-level legal services and advises a wide variety of clients on complex transactions and legal issues
