On October 8 2024, provisional suspension of payments (surséance van betaling) was granted to Dedert IJs BV. On 14th October 2024, the suspension of payments was converted into bankruptcy (faillissement). On the same day, the sole shareholder of Dedert IJs, ERWEDA BV, was also declared bankrupt. Michiel Peeters was appointed as the trustee in both bankruptcies.
Dedert IJs, established in Roermond in 1954, is a renowned manufacturer of water and fruit ice lollies. The company offers a wide range of well-known water ice products, such as Rocket popsicles and double-lickers. With an annual production of 250 to 300 million refreshing ice lollies, the company has established itself as a trusted partner in the European industry thanks to its production capacity and expertise.
The trustee has reached an agreement with the French ice lolly manufacturer and distributor Yetigel International SA regarding the purchase/sale of all assets of Dedert IJs BV and ERWEDA BV, including real estate, machinery, production lines, office inventory, and stock. With more than 35 years of experience, Yetigel International SA is a major player in Europe, producing over 150 million ice lollies annually. The company owns internationally recognized brands, such as YETI®, and offers products under its own brands as well as private labels. This strategic acquisition allows Yetigel Group to become one of the biggest European ice lollies manufacturers, with outstanding production capacities.
The transfer and delivery of the assets will take place in January 2025. In the meantime, the buyer is making the necessary preparations to successfully restart ice production as soon as the transfer is completed to quickly meet customer demands. Once the asset transfer is finalized, the buyer will proactively engage with former employees, customers, and suppliers of Dedert IJs who are essential for the restart.
The trustee is pleased that the sale of the assets and the planned restart of ice pop production will help preserve the business for the region, employment, suppliers, and customers.
