Groningen / Amsterdam, 22 July 2026

BOOT FAMILY WELCOMES FOREMAN CAPITAL AS NEW SHAREHOLDER OF THE ROYAL NNZ GROUP

After more than 104 years of family ownership, the Boot family has decided to welcome a new shareholder to The Royal NNZ Group. Following a carefully managed strategic process, Foreman Capital has been selected as the partner to support the next phase in the development of the international packaging company. The Boot family will remain actively involved in the business and considers Foreman Capital the ideal partner to support the company’s continuity, growth and ongoing professionalization.

Founded in 1922 by Marinus Boot, The Royal NNZ Group has grown from a family-owned business in Groningen into an international company serving customers throughout Europe, North America and beyond. Over four generations, entrepreneurship, long-term thinking, reliability, and a strong commitment to employees and customers have formed the foundation of the company’s success.

The investment by Foreman Capital marks the beginning of a new chapter in the company’s history. It provides the financial strength to support and accelerate the strong growth achieved in recent years. The additional investment will enable NNZ to further strengthen its inventory position, logistics capabilities, digital transformation, artificial intelligence initiatives, commercial development and international expansion.

Throughout the strategic process, the Boot family and The Royal NNZ Group were advised by Nielen Schuman of Amsterdam. Acting as corporate finance adviser, Nielen Schuman supported both the family and the company during every stage of the transaction.

The Boot family would like to express its sincere appreciation to the team at Nielen Schuman for their professionalism, commitment and expert guidance throughout the process.

Statement by the Boot family

«More than 104 years ago, our (great-)grandfather started a business that no one could have imagined would develop into what it is today. Together with generations of dedicated colleagues, we have built something truly special. Not only a family-owned company, but above all a company with a family.

The world around us continues to evolve. To ensure that NNZ remains healthy, resilient and successful for generations to come, we decided the time was right to welcome a new shareholder. In Foreman Capital, we have found a partner who shares our long-term vision, respects our culture and brings the expertise, experience and investment capacity needed to build the future of NNZ together.

What will not change is our commitment. We will remain closely involved with the company, its employees, its customers and the values on which NNZ has been built for more than a century. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to the success of our company over the past 104 years and look forward with great confidence to this exciting new chapter.»

Statement by Ronald Hoozemans, CEO of The Royal NNZ Group

«At NNZ, we believe our success begins with the success of our customers. Through smart packaging solutions, deep industry expertise and genuine personal commitment, we help our customers achieve their ambitions.

Behind that success are the people of NNZ. Over the past year, I have seen first-hand how their knowledge, entrepreneurial mindset and dedication make a real difference for our customers every day. To further strengthen that position, we will continue investing in expertise, sustainability, innovation and technology.

With Foreman Capital, we are gaining not only additional investment capacity, but also a partner with extensive experience in commercial growth, digital transformation and artificial intelligence. This will enable us to further enhance our services and accelerate the realization of our international ambitions.

Equally important is the continued involvement of the Boot family and the preservation of the values that have made NNZ the company it is today. I see this milestone as a strong vote of confidence in our people, our strategy and our mission to help our customers succeed—now and in the future.»

We look forward to working alongside the family, the management team and all employees to support the company’s continued growth.
