Anders Invest acquires interest in Solex

Anders Invest and its Mosman co-shareholders have a controlling interest in Solex Thermal Science Inc. acquired. Based in Calgary, Canada, Solex, like Mosman, is active in the production and sale of indirect bulk heat exchangers. The expertise of Solex and Mosman are combined so that they can achieve optimal performance for their customers.

 

Solex is a world leader in the development and sale of indirect heat exchangers for bulk bulk goods. In addition to the application in production processes of sugar, oilseeds and fertilizers, Solex has developed heat exchangers for a wide range of other production processes, for example for coffee beans, casting sand and energy storage media. The company has extensive expertise in product development and has a worldwide active sales team.

 

In its 25-year history, Solex has maintained its position as the market leader in bulk bulk heat exchangers. Due to the increasing attention to energy consumption of the production processes and the desired high quality and consistency of product output, indirect heat exchangers are being used in more and more production processes. In recent years, Solex has invested heavily in the development of its technology for applications in a wide range of bulk bulk materials.

 

Solex and Mosman will join forces to offer their customers optimal solutions. The locations in Calgary Canada and Haaksbergen Netherlands remain active and the combination of capacity enables Solex and Mosman to better serve their customers with products and services. As a result of the combination of the companies, the production of the heat exchangers will be concentrated in the Mosman facility in Haaksbergen and it is expected that this production location will be expanded.

Bos acquires ConnectinQ BOS Woodworking Factory Solutions has acquired ConnectinQ Software and ConnectinQ, two companies based in Harlingen specializing in software solutions and engineering for prefabricated timber frame construction, respectively. With this acquisition, BOS expands its offering from machinery to the software that controls the entire production process, as well as the underlying engineering expertise. ConnectinQ Software develops software for prefabricated timber frame construction. The Produuz.it platform provides digital control for the factories and connects BIM models, work preparation, production, and the shop floor in a single environment. This ensures that the entire process from BIM drawing to production-ready control of CNC machines is completely paperless. Additionally, ConnectinQ Software is working on Prefabmatrix, a new development that enables automated calculations, schedule creation, order management, post-calculation, and financial administration based on IFC models. ConnectinQ is a drafting firm with extensive engineering knowledge of timber frame construction. With the combination of knowledge of the machines, the product, and its development, BOS expects to be able to support its customers even better in the future. The acquisition aligns with BOS's strategy to offer customers total solutions rather than individual components. While BOS has been supplying the machines customers use for production for years through Bos Machines and H&M Machines, ConnectinQ adds the software that controls that process. This allows the group to support the entire chain from drawing to production. ConnectinQ and H&M Machines are already collaborating on several projects. "We see in practice that together we can mean more to customers, and customers are enthusiastic about that," says Teus Jan de Jong, CEO of the BOS Group. "This acquisition is the logical next step. We all believe in the long term, and that is also evident in how we have structured things." With the acquisition, the group's shareholder structure has been adjusted. In addition to strategic partner Anders Invest, Tom Eijkenaar (Managing Director of ConnectinQ), Jan Willem Dijkstra (Managing Director of H&M Machines), and Teus Jan de Jong (CEO of the BOS Group) are acquiring a stake in the group. With this, BOS ensures strategic cohesion and long-term commitment. Founder Tom Eijkenaar will remain associated with ConnectinQ and continue to expand the company within the group. About ConnectinQ Based in Harlingen, ConnectinQ develops custom software for prefabricated timber frame construction. A defining characteristic of the company is that the team masters both IT and woodworking, a combination rare in the sector. The Prefabmatrix product links design, work preparation, production, and administration in a single environment.
