Burg Groep B.V. is a major European producer of vinegar, edible oil and concentrated fruit syrup. The company has manufacturing sites in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and the Czech Republic.

Higher alcohol prices affected the gross margin, resulting in a loss in 2011 for an acquired Czech vinegar manufacturer. Therefore, costs had to be reduced. Larive was asked to support Brug Groep with restructuring the management structure. After analysing the legal and fiscal structure, current operations and the present staffing, Larive provided Burg Groep with a concise report in which different strategic alternatives for the restructuring were presented.
