Vitafor’s existing shareholders have welcomed external investors to strengthen its capital base for future growth. Vitafor CEO, Koen Valgaeren, and some key employees are taking a share in the capital.
In April 2017, Koen Valgaeren, was hired as the new CEO at Vitafor to consolidate the rapid growth of recent years. The company is now strengthening its structure by allowing a number of key employees into the capital of the company. As a result, CEO Koen Valgaeren and a few members of the management team have become shareholders since 1 March. Vitafor has strengthened its financial and strategic resilience through the capital contribution from several private investors around SDM-Valorum in a Smart Deal structure.
In this way, Vitafor is fully prepared for the future in a stronger and more professional way to continue the growth of recent years, without losing the company’s corporate identity. In 2017 the company had a turnover of over 30 million EUR.
