Eubelius is proud to have acted as lead legal counsel to the Clarebout family in the successful completion of the sale of Clarebout Potatoes to the JR Simplot Company, a leading global food and agriculture business headquartered in Boise, Idaho, USA.

This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone, bringing together two family-owned companies with deep agricultural roots and a shared commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation. The transaction expands Simplot’s global capacity in frozen potato products and strengthens its presence in Europe.

The Eubelius team was led by the M&A team of Philippe Mulliez, Michiel Nuitten, and Miel Dhuyvetter, with support from the tax team of Wouter Claes and Kelly Moens, banking and finance team of Thomas Donnez and Nikolai Declercq and the competition team of Kim Gillade. 

We are honored to have supported the Clarebout family in this important step and wish both parties continued success in this exciting new chapter.
