Simont Braun has assisted Dirk and Christiane Schreurs-Emmers, founders of Emmers Equestrian, with the sale of a minority stake to Akiles. Simont Braun’s deal team, led by corporate M&A partner Tom Swinnen and associate Julie Braeckman, is thrilled to have contributed to this significant milestone for Emmers Equestrian.
Emmers Equestrian is a Belgian top-tier retailer in the high-end equestrian market with stores located in Belgium (Hamont and Sentower Park) and the Netherlands (De Peelbergen). With an extensive offering of equestrian products and services, the stores and webshop attract customers from all over the world.
Akiles, a Belgian evergreen investment fund, acquired a minority stake alongside majority shareholder Lisa Schreurs, daughter of the founders. Manager Sophie Kessels was also given the opportunity to invest.
This investment and strategic partnership will allow the continuation of the family business and further support the European growth of Emmers Equestrian.
