Current owners Hedwig Kouters and Erik Snijders will remain with the company. Kouters will become key account and product director while Snijders will continue as a part-time consultant to the wider Tefcold Group. 

“The addition of Serrco to the Tefcold Group is allowing us to enter into new areas of our customers business” said Tefcold CEO Jesper Kirkeby Hansen.
