Adecs Airinfra Consultants takes next step with management buy-out
Adecs Airinfra Consultants has taken an important step in the further development of the company. By means of a management buyout a portion of the shares has been transferred from founder and shareholder Peter Frankena to employee Ronald van 't Veld.
This management buy-out enables Peter, as a shareholder, to hand over the reins in a trusted manner, while ensuring the continuity of the company. At the same time, it offers Ronald, who was already active within the organization, the opportunity to grow into entrepreneurship. Match Plan guided the entire process, including the financing of the acquisition.
Specialized consultancy firm for airports
Adecs Airinfra Consultants, founded in 2000 and based in The Hague, is a specialized consultancy focusing on airports and their impact on the surrounding environment. The company has since grown into a leading and distinctive consultancy in the field of environmental reporting for the aviation sector.
Through its in-depth expertise and sector-specific knowledge, Adecs Airinfra Consultants supports its clients—including Schiphol, Rotterdam The Hague Airport, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, provinces, and various municipalities—with complex issues within a dynamic and regulated environment. In doing so, the company has built a strong position within its niche market.
Gradual transfer and step towards entrepreneurship
The management buy-out makes it possible to transfer the company in phases. Both Peter Frankena and Ronald van 't Veld will remain active within the company after the transaction, ensuring continuity in knowledge, relationships, and day-to-day management.
For Peter, this structure offers the opportunity to gradually reduce his involvement and focus more on the further growth of Adecs AirSystems, while the company remains in trusted hands. At the same time, Ronald has seized the opportunity to grow from his existing role into a co-shareholder and, in this way, help shape the future development of Adecs Airinfra Consultants.
This combination makes the management buy-out a balanced solution, in which continuity and innovation go hand in hand.
Match Plan as a strategic partner
Match Plan acted as strategic advisor throughout the entire process and provided intensive guidance to both the seller and the buyer. The process started with a valuation of the company, after which the feasibility of the management buy-out and the associated financing structure were worked out.
Subsequently, Match Plan assisted in securing and structuring the financing and guided the discussions and negotiations between all involved parties. Also the drafting of the legal documentation was part of the guidance.
The deal team, consisting of Leon Koorevaar, Rens Knevels, Sven Aaldering, Matthias Duijzer, and Tim Struijs, worked closely together to achieve a successful transfer.
