Participation Topvorm

Anders Invest has acquired 50% of the shares in Topvorm Prefab from Terneuzen. The company has been growing rapidly for 10 years and is one of the leading players in the market for the production of prefabricated roofs for residential construction in the Netherlands. Topvorm realizes a turnover of € 15-20 million and employs more than 90 people. For Anders Invest, it is the 17th investment in its industry portfolio.

 

Topvorm's core activity is the design and production of prefabricated roofs for new-build homes. The clients consists of renowned construction companies that purchase the entire engineering and production of the roofs from Topvorm. The company has expanded its product range with the production of dormer windows and prefabricated walls. Topvorm has a modern production facility with workstations and production lines where the prefab roofs and roof elements are produced. In our own sawmill, all parts are cut to size according to computer control (CNC).

 

Anders Invest has taken over half of the shares in the company from the three founders and directors Wim Timmerman, Hans Stoffijn and John Cambeen. In the coming years, they will remain active as members of the board of Topvorm. Despite the short-term challenges, there is a large housing shortage and the long-term prospects for housing construction are good. Anders Invest therefore sees sufficient opportunities to achieve further growth together with the management and employees of the company.
