THE NETHERLANDS

The BDO Transaction Services team in The Netherlands provided buy-side due diligence services to Arcus Infrastructure Partners (Arcus) in connection with the acquisition of 100% of HB Returnable Transport Solutions ('HB'). With the takeover Arcus will support HB to achieve its growth ambitions. HB, established in 2008, is a leading provider of rental, washing and integrated logistics for returnable transport items ('RTIs') in the Dutch food supply chain, ensuring the safe and sustainable transport of consumable products from suppliers to consumers. RTIs are critical assets within the circular economy, ensuring reliable and efficient transport, while minimising the use of single-use, one-way packaging in a variety of fast-moving supply chains. With an asset pool of 2.8 million RTIs and a network of 10 strategically located washing and logistics facilities across the country, HB provides vital RTI logistics infrastructure and an integrated one-stop shop solution for its customers. Arcus' focus on value-add infrastructure businesses and sector expertise is in line with the wishes and ambitions of the management.
