December 20, 2023 Son, The Netherlands - BKB Group, a renowned name in the plastics processing industry, today completed the acquisition of BLW Kunststoffen. This significant development not only strengthens BKB Group's position in the high-performance plastics machining sector, but also highlights the group's continued growth and expansion plans, in partnership with 365 Capital.
BKB Precision, part of the BKB Group, has been a specialist in turning and milling plastic parts since 1982 with a strong focus on the semicon, medical, food, chemical and analytical industries in the Netherlands, and around the world. BKB Group has a leading reputation for manufacturing complex, precision plastic parts, such as manifolds.
In April 2022, BKB Precision took an important step toward future growth and market position by acquiring ANKRO Kunststof Verspaning in Werkendam, a trusted partner in the production of plastic parts for the food, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, medical, analytical and graphic industries, among others. This acquisition was seen as a perfect match in corporate culture, ambition and craftsmanship and offered opportunities for growth and continuity.
The acquisition of BLW Kunststoffen, a company with an established name in plastics processing, brings additional expertise and capacity within the BKB Group. This enables the group to even better meet the growing needs of the high-tech market in terms of capacity and capabilities for products in plastics.
BLW Kunststoffen brings with it a wealth of experience and expertise in the plastics industry, including specialized services in plastics turning, milling, machining, assembly and cleaning. These skills perfectly complement the BKB Group's existing capabilities, enabling a more extensive and varied range of high-quality plastic products.
With the addition of BLW Kunststoffen to its portfolio, BKB Group confirms its status as a leader in the plastic machining industry, and remains committed to innovation, quality and customer satisfaction.
In line with this development, BKB Group confirms its intention to grow further, with 365 Capital as its investment partner. Together they continue to look out for new acquisition opportunities that can strengthen the group and further expand its market position.
Frank van Hoof, Director BLW Kunststoffen, expresses his optimism about the future: “This acquisition by the BKB Group is a fantastic development for BLW Kunststoffen. It allows us to be part of a larger, more versatile organization, while maintaining our core values and quality standards. I look forward to continuing to play an active role in the organization and contributing to its shared growth and success.”
Mannes Westhuis, CEO of BKB Group, emphasizes the strategic importance of this acquisition: “By integrating BLW Kunststoffen within our group, we not only increase our capabilities, but also strengthen our market position. This acquisition enables us to offer our customers an even more extensive range of customized plastic solutions. Frank van Hoof will continue to play an important role within our organization, contributing to a seamless integration and continuation of the excellent service for which BLW is known.”
