Refresco to buy Norway soft-drinks group Telemark Kildevann
Dutch drinks group Refresco has agreed to acquire Norway-based soft-drinks manufacturer Telemark Kildevann (TKV). In a statement, Refresco said the purchase 'further strengthens its presence and operational capabilities to service customers across the Nordics'. Refresco's operations in Europe include assets in Finland. Family-owned TKV makes soft drinks and bottled water, supplying branded customers and retailers in Norway and Sweden. The company runs two production facilities in the Norwegian towns of Fyresdal and Aurskog. More than 60 TKV employees will become part of Refresco's workforce of over 14,000 once the deal is completed, which is expected to be later this year. The transaction, struck for an undisclosed sum, is awaiting regulatory approval. Refresco CEO Hans Roelofs said: 'TKV's loyal customer base, strong capabilities, and well-established market position enhances our ability to serve retailers and branded customers in Norway, Sweden and beyond.' Just Drinks approached Refresco for further comment but had not received a response at the time of writing. The move for TKV is the company's first acquisition of 2025. Last year, the company snapped up Spanish plant-based beverage maker Frías Nutrición, purchased a production site from German beverage group Berentzen-Gruppe and bought US-based VBC Bottling Company, a fellow contract manufacturer. In May last year, Rotterdam-based Refresco opened its first European plant-based production line in Germany, marking an entry into the oat drinks' market. As part of the deal for the Berentzen-Gruppe facility, Refresco also bought the mineral-water brands Märkisch Kristall and Grüneberg Quelle. "Refresco to buy Norway soft-drinks group Telemark Kildevann" was originally created and published by Just Drinks, a GlobalData owned brand.

High-tech equipment maker VDL ETG opens new facility in Singapore
[SINGAPORE] VDL Enabling Technologies Group (VDL ETG), a Dutch contract manufacturer for high-tech capital equipment, opened a new building in Jurong on Monday (June 2), and plans to invest S$100 million to grow its operations here over the next five years. Located in the Pioneer area, the new building, named SQ1, houses an office block, warehousing and logistics space, and cleanroom manufacturing space. In a statement, VDL ETG Singapore said the office block would be the main 'brain' – where its employees from teams, including engineering, manufacturing, technology development and supply chain, would come together to collaborate and innovate. This is so that the company can meet the current and future demand of customers and tackle challenges to enable the growing demand of the semiconductor wafer fab equipment industry. VDL ETG Singapore, which aims to grow its revenue from the current S$400 million to S$1 billion in the next five to six years, is supported by Singapore's Economic Development Board (EDB) and JTC Corporation (JTC). Speaking at the opening ceremony of SQ1, EDB managing director Jermaine Loy said the facility's opening reflects 'the close relationship' between Singapore and the Netherlands as both countries mark 60 years of bilateral relations this year.

The company also works with these factories in areas such as surface treatment, product cleaning and precision part fabrication. VDL ETG Singapore said in its statement that the launch of SQ1 paves the way for the company to develop new equipment like precision-engineering tools and automated systems to enhance semiconductor production capabilities. The equipment enables manufacturers to achieve higher yields and better quality control, leading to more reliable and efficient production processes. VDL ETG Singapore's managing director Chiam Sing Chung said: 'The company's latest expansion at the SQ1 facility not only signals investment in infrastructure. It reflects a deliberate and strategic partnership with local suppliers, aimed at creating a smarter, more resilient manufacturing ecosystem.'

He added that the semiconductor industry accounts for 6 to 7 per cent of GDP and employs some 35,000 people. About one in 10 chips, and one in five units of semiconductor equipment produced globally every year is made in Singapore. Over the next few years, VDL ETG Singapore seeks to employ over 400 employees in areas such as systems design and development, manufacturing, end-to-end supply chain management and administration.
