Anders Invest acquires Van Meirvenne
Anders Invest took over wire drawing company Van Meirvenne from Beveren (Belgium) this week. In 2022, the company achieved a turnover of approximately € 50 million and employs more than 20 employees. Since June 2022, Anders Invest has been a shareholder in wire drawing company Noord Nederlandse Draad Industrie from Dokkum.
The family business was founded in 1955 and the third generation is now active with director and shareholder Nick van Meirvenne. Van Meirvenne uses its extensive and highly automated machine park to produce rods and coils of cold-drawn wire steel. The products are used in concrete reinforcement and customers are mainly concrete producers and construction companies in Belgium and the Netherlands.
In June 2022, Anders Invest acquired the shares in wire drawing company North Dutch Wire Industry (NNDI) from Dokkum. NNDI and Van Meirvenne are now jointly part of Draad Industrie Holding B.V. and will collaborate intensively where appropriate. For example, NNDI and Van Meirvenne can use each other's production capacity and knowledge. The two companies offer a broad portfolio of wire products; from bare drawn wire to reinforcing steel.
The shares in Van Meirvenne have been taken over from Nick van Meirvenne. Together with co-director Dieter Goeminne, he commits himself for the long term as a minority shareholder and together with the recently appointed director of NNDI, Ernst Dijkstra, they manage the combination of both companies.
