BBH underlines strategic ambitions with divestment of Swedish activities & adjusts and simplifies management structure

28 May 2021

Beter Bed Holding N.V. (BBH) – a sleep specialist operating in the European retail, wholesale and B2B sectors – today announced it has entered into a non-binding term sheet with the Lars Larsen Group for negotiations for the sale of Sängjätten, BBH’s Swedish operation. The divestment is an important step in the implementation of the new strategic direction.

This intended sale in combination with the divestments done in previous years, brings the Company back to a focussed Benelux player, with a global wholesale division. BBH has decided to create a leaner management structure with fewer layers to bring the Holding structure in line with this new organisation. The statutory directors (CEO and CFO) of the Group will join the directors of the current Benelux and DBC management team to form one group management team. As a result, there will be no more divisional management teams and our current general manager Benelux, Ronald Voogt, will leave the Company per 30 June of this year to move to a role outside the Group.
