VDA Group realizes sale of subsidiaries to VADO
VDA Group has taken an important strategic step by acquiring its subsidiaries Van den Akker Electric Engineering and Van den Akker Montage & Assemblage to sell to private equity firm VADO, through the Verhoeven Family of Companies. This transaction aligns perfectly with the buy and build strategy of VADO, further strengthening its position in the manufacturing industry. The sale was successfully managed by Match Plan, which supported VDA Group throughout the entire process.
Specialist in industrial automation
With the acquisition by VADO, Van den Akker Electric Engineering is embarking on a new chapter in its development. As a specialist in industrial automation, Van den Akker has become a leading player in the sector since its founding in 1999. The company works with the latest technologies, such as vision systems, robots, and autonomous vehicles, and delivers innovative solutions for companies in sectors such as Agri & Food, Chemicals & Pharma, Automotive, Logistics, and Energy & Water.
By focusing on feasibility studies, concept development, software and hardware engineering, and mechanical construction, Van den Akker plays a key role in the automation of industrial processes. Joining VADO provides the company with access to a broader network, additional resources, and new market opportunities, stimulating further growth and technological innovation.
Strengthening the portfolio in the manufacturing industry
With a portfolio of approximately twenty industrial companies, VADO offers strategic support to businesses engaged in product development and technical innovation. Van den Akker Engineering will become part of the Verhoeven Family of Companies, enabling the company to further develop within a strong and innovative industrial group.
With this step, Van den Akker strengthens its position in the market, while VADO expands its portfolio with a company that perfectly matches its vision of sustainable growth and technological progress.
