Grolsch already held a 15% stake and now acquires the remaining shares from director Jan-Paul Rutten and his sister Maartje, ending 200 years of family ownership. The takeover price is undisclosed. Gulpener’s site in Gulpen employs about 75 people; no redundancies are planned and the Gulpener brands will be retained. Operational details will be worked out over the next six to nine months.
