20 december 2023 December 20, 2023, Son, Netherlands - BKB Group, a renowned name in the plastic machining industry, has finalized the acquisition of BLW Kunststoffen today. This significant development not only strengthens the BKB Group's position in the high-quality plastic machining sector but also underscores the group's ongoing growth and expansion plans in collaboration with 365 Capital.
BKB Precision, a part of the BKB Group, has been a specialist in turning and milling plastic parts since 1982, with a strong focus on the semiconductor, medical, food, chemical, and analytical industries in the Netherlands and worldwide. BKB Group has earned a prominent reputation for manufacturing complex, precise plastic components, such as manifolds.
In April 2022, BKB Precision took a significant step towards future growth and market position by acquiring ANKRO Kunststof Verspaning in Werkendam, a trusted partner in producing plastic parts for industries including food, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, medical, analytical, and graphic. This acquisition was seen as a perfect match in corporate culture, ambition, and craftsmanship, offering opportunities for growth and continuity.
The acquisition of BLW Kunststoffen, a company with an established name in plastic machining, brings additional expertise and capacity to the BKB Group. This enables the group to better meet the growing needs of the high-tech market in terms of capacity and product capabilities in plastics.
BLW Kunststoffen brings rich experience and expertise in the plastic industry, including specialized services in plastic turning, milling, machining, assembly, and cleaning. These skills complement the existing capabilities of the BKB Group perfectly, 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, committed to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction.
In line with this development, the BKB Group confirms its intention to further grow, with 365 Capital as its investment partner. Together, they continue to look for new acquisition opportunities to strengthen the group and further expand its market position.
Frank van Hoof, Director of BLW Kunststoffen, expresses 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 retaining our core values and quality standards. I look forward to continuing to play an active role in the organization and contributing to mutual 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 broader range of customized plastic solutions. Frank van Hoof will continue to play a significant role within our organization, contributing to a seamless integration and continuation of the excellent service for which BLW is known."
