The shareholders of AB&C Groep B.V., including majority shareholder Gate Invest, are transferring their shares in AB&C Groep to EPSA. The Dutch AB&C Groep consists of multiple companies that each offer business services across various sectors, based on their own entrepreneurship, expertise, and approach.
