De Vereenigde Banketbakkers B.V. (led by Bob Kaptein) has acquired Banketbakkerij Brokking B.V. Brokking has been in business for over 100 years and is a thriving family-owned company. The combination of the two companies creates a leading player in the pastry segment, specializing in hazelnut pastries. The Hague-based pastry shop Maison Kelder (acquired in 2011) is also part of Vereenigde Banketbakkers. Hogenhouck acted on behalf of the buyer.
