Both companies have successfully grown their businesses by delivering high-quality raw materials and outstanding service to their business partners.

The current management will continue to manage ICS. Mr. Hennink, the General Manager of ICS, will report to Mr. Gerko Snel, the Managing Director of MCG. Recently, ICS has moved to new offices in Nieuw Vennep, from where it will continue to operate with the same professional and motivated team.

Mr. Hoek, departing Director of ICS, added: “After some years of careful succession planning, I believe ICS will be able to continue its independent character and growth path under the new ownership.”

Both companies look forward to a continued partnership & to further strengthening the relationship with all valued stakeholders. ICS will remain an independent company under the umbrella of MCG, benefiting from its corporate strength and quality management.
