3i Group invests in Dutch Bakery, a bakery group specialised in home bake-off bread and snack products.

Headquartered in Tilburg, Dutch Bakery operates six bakeries across the Netherlands, with customers that include all major Dutch food retailers. The company offers a comprehensive assortment, which is produced sustainably and with natural ingredients.

Bastiaan Peer, Director at 3i, said: “We are excited to back the Dutch Bakery management team. They have put the right foundations in place for continued future growth, both organically and through a targeted buy-and-build strategy, and we look forward to working with them to realise this ambition.”

Raoul Vorage, CEO of Dutch Bakery, added: “3i has extensive experience in the private label market through its investments in Royal Sanders and Refresco and a proven track record of growing companies internationally, both of which will be of great benefit to us. We look forward to working with them to build on our success to date and create a leading European player in the bake-off market.”
