It manages and financially controls the Group’s investment decisions and oversees its operating companies in the areas of financial reporting, treasury, internal auditing, risk management, legal, tax, IT, investor relations, business development, ESG, mergers & acquisitions, HR and other matters.

Holding company

ACOMO N.V. is the holding company of an international group of companies that sources, trades, treats, processes, packages, and distributes natural ingredients for the food and beverage industry. Our product range comprises more than 600 products, covering more than 100 countries.

Operating companies

All Acomo group companies have their unique entrepreneurial spirit and trade under their own name. Each company maintains its dedicated management team and product portfolio. This decentralized structure enables the companies to pursue market opportunities independently while leveraging group expertise.

 

Sustainable growth

Autonomous value creation within the operating companies is one of two parallel efforts to achieve long-term sustainable growth. The other one is the acquisition of leading companies in conventional and organic food ingredients. In particular companies where our trading and financial expertise can provide added value for growth.

Shared principles

Based on shared principles such as absolute reliability of contracts, effective risk management and socially responsible entrepreneurship, we are committed to adding value to the complete supply chain and focus on above average results.
