Take over ACT by Sivomatic

Recently, the shares of Animal Care Trading (ACT) B.V. have been taken over by Sivomatic B.V. ACT is one of the largest suppliers of silica gel based cat litters, with customers in more than thirty countries. Among others, it is distributing brands like Litter Pearls, Nullodor and many private labels. The former owner, Mr. Simon Luesing, would have liked to proceed with his company for some time, but preferred to choose for his health. He found a good partner in Sivomatic B.V.
 
Sivomatic is one of the largest producers of cat litter in Europe (www.sivomatic.nl) and this take-over means a new step forward in the premium range of the cat litter market. Sivomatic's owner Mr. Peter Verseveldt has succeeded Mr. Simon Luesing as President of ACT.  However, Mr. Luesing will stay with ACT as a consultant during the next two years.
 
As stated by Mr. Verseveldt: "Animal Care Trading will bring us new growth in the quality end of the market. This, together with the take-over of a high premium white bentonite production facility in Turkey early 2008, will strengthen Sivomatic's leading position in the cat litter market".
