“We found a kindred spirit in Jongbloed,” said David Main, CEO at Swets. “Their strong reputation helped to solidify our decision to acquire the business and their philosophy, attention to detail and drive for customer excellence mirrors our own. This acquisition gains us a strong foothold into what is a relatively new market for us. We aim to leverage the expertise and knowledge contained within both companies in order to innovate further, particularly in relation to books and eBook content. This is great news for both Swets and, indeed, Jongbloed customers. We look forward to developing a new range of benefits, both in content range and shared services, for our joint customer base.”
“Swets offers the welcome scenario for the future which Jongbloed was looking for,” says Ab Jongbloed, selling shareholder of Jongbloed. “This era, with its revolutionary developments in the area of technology and information supply, asks for adjustments and investments that organizations of Jongbloed’s size can no longer create independently at the necessary rate. Swets’ global scale and excellent reputation, combined with the knowledge and specialism of Jongbloed, offer a promising and successful collaboration. That Jongbloed can continue to grow as the specialist in legal and fiscal information as an independent entity, and moreover with the continuity of the Jongbloed organization safeguarded, gives confidence for the future. “
Bringing Jongbloed under the wing of Swets will help to broaden the scope of its services to customers dramatically. Swets is keen to empower and build upon the rewarding work that Jongbloed is renowned for and secure a rewarding and prosperous future for the company.
