DELFT, 6 FEBRUARY 2026 – N.V. Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles (Royal Delft Group) has, through RD Food Tools B.V., a legal entity in which its major shareholder BORON participates, completed the acquisition of MHB.Heer B.V., the holding company of Bos Kaasgereedschappen B.V. (BOSKA), on 6 February 2026. On 20 January 2026, the Works Council of Royal Delft Group rendered a positive advice regarding this transaction. With the acquisition of BOSKA, Royal Delft adds a strong brand to the group’s portfolio.
Generations of Craftsmanship and Entrepreneurship
BOSKA, a Dutch family-owned company, is growing rapidly through direct online sales via its own webshop and platforms such as Bol.com and Amazon. “BOSKA represents what Royal Delft stands for: innovation and sustainable quality that lasts for generations. Since 1896, the combination of craftsmanship, design, and functionality has been at the heart of the brand. We are proud to welcome a Dutch icon like BOSKA into our group and see many opportunities to strengthen one another,” says Hessel Hoekstra, CEO of Royal Delft Group.
Boost for International and Digital Growth
BOSKA aims to structurally expand its collections and accelerate international growth. In 2025, the company strengthened its market position through the acquisition of Style de Vie, a young and dynamic supplier of self-designed kitchen and table knives. BOSKA’s pro forma revenue for 2025 amounts to € 22 million, and normalized EBITDA for that year is expected to reach approximately € 3 million. These figures include the recent acquisition of Style de Vie on a full-year basis.
Partners in Growth
The transaction will contribute directly to both net revenue and operating profit starting in 2026. Investment company and major shareholder BORON will support BOSKA in realizing its international growth strategy. Maurijn Legein, CEO of BOSKA, says: “With Royal Delft and BORON, we gain access to the expertise and global network needed to accelerate our international ambitions. We remain true to our passion for quality and design, while continuing to invest in e-commerce and expanding our collection of food tools. This feels like a logical next step in our 129-year history.”
