Omer-Decugis & Cie acquires EMA’S A/S
Omer-Decugis & Cie today also announced the acquisition of 100% of the shares of EMA’S A/S, a Danish importer specialising in exotic products. This acquisition marks an important step in the Group’s European ambitions by offering it a gateway to Northern Europe and Scandinavia.
EMA’S A/S is a family run-company renowned for its expertise in the importation and exportation of exotic fruit, mainly from Asia. It is particularly recognised as a prominent importer of carambola. Based in Ebeltoft on the east coast of Jutland, EMA’S A/S has a logistics platform in Poeldijk (Netherlands), close to the port of Rotterdam, an ideal location for shipment to Scandinavia. The company has been managed for 20 years by Kenneth Blicher, the founder’s son, and generated an annual revenue in 2023 of €6.3 million.
This acquisition is fully in line with the Group’s growth plan and strategic international development goals and offers significant potential for synergies. The EMA’S A/S customer portfolio will open new markets for the Group, thereby extending its commercial influence in Northern Europe and Scandinavia, while enabling the Danish company to develop its product offering on the French market. The Group’s booming range of small exotic fruit will benefit from supply synergies, particularly from Asia (starfruit, passion fruit, ginger, dragon fruit, etc.), where the Danish company boasts a long-standing presence and an important expertise. Furthermore, by leveraging the logistics capacities developed by EMA’S A/S in the Netherlands, the Group plans to pursue its flow consolidation strategy by establishing a new logistics base in the Netherlands, a vibrant commercial hub for the transportation of goods throughout Europe. The new platform will complement the Group’s existing French network with its 2 sites in Rungis and Sorgues, thereby providing optimum coverage of the European market.
Kenneth Blicher along with his team are joining Omer-Decugis & Cie to contribute to the Group’s European expansion. Kenneth will join the Omer-Decugis & Cie Executive Committee as of 1st February 2024 as Chief Executive Officer of EMA’S A/S in charge of the Group’s European development project.
