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.

Update advisory board Industry Fund Anders Invest Industrie Fonds announces several changes in the composition of the Advisory Board and fund management. After eight years of involvement, Frederik van Beuningen is stepping down as chairman of the Advisory Board due to age. He will be succeeded by current board member Herman Spliethoff. We are very pleased that current member Henk Willem van Dorp wants to complete his third term. In addition, Jan de Wilde will be added as a new member of the Advisory Board. In fund management, Rutger de Vos is transferring his tasks to Gerald van Kooten, so that Rutger can focus more on the portfolio companies. Advisory Board Frederik van Beuningen has played an important role in the growth and professionalization of Anders Invest Industriefonds. As co-founder of Teslin and with broad experience in long-term investments and entrepreneurship, he has used his expertise and network to take the fund to a higher level and to represent the interests of investors in fund management. We thank him for his leadership, dedication and commitment in recent years. Herman Spliethoff will take over the chairmanship. He has extensive experience as an investor, management consultant, entrepreneur and supervisor. He has been co-owner of the Amsterdam shipping company Spliethoff for decades. He gained extensive experience at private equity firms through a management role at QAT Investments and a supervisory role at TBL Mirror Fund. Herman has been involved in the Advisory Board since the establishment of the Industriefonds and thus plays a role in the course and development of the fund. The fund management has always appreciated his level of preparation and substantive input and is pleased that he will take on the role of chairman. Jan de Wilde (1977) will join the Advisory Board as a new member. Jan was a partner at Nielen Schuman for 20 years, almost from the start of this renowned consultancy firm. In this leading role, he developed into a specialist in M&A transactions for family and founder companies and private equity funds based in the Benelux. He is now an enterprising private investor (also with Anders Invest for several years) and advisor with expertise in mergers and acquisitions and capital structures. With his experience, he will advise the fund management on the further professionalization of investment processes. Fund management Rutger de Vos, one of the founding partners of Anders Invest, has worked as a fund manager of the Industrial Fund in addition to his role as investment manager in recent years. His affinity lies mainly with the portfolio companies with the strategic and operational challenges that the manufacturing industry faces. He has therefore decided to focus exclusively on actively supporting the portfolio companies in their growth and strategy from now on. Anders Invest is particularly grateful to him for the commitment and dedication with which he has shaped the team and the fund. Gerald van Kooten will take over the role of fund manager. Like Rutger, Gerald has been involved with Anders Invest since the start and focuses mainly on acquisitions. This remains his main activity. In close cooperation with the other fund partners, he also takes responsibility for the fund management. Gerald will provide information to industrial fund investors, together with Gert-Jan Huisman, who is responsible for investor relations as managing partner and also supports two large industrial companies. Both will play an active role at the members' meetings. With these changes, the Anders Invest Industrie Fonds will continue to support and grow industrial companies in the Netherlands and abroad. We thank all those involved for their efforts and look forward to a successful continuation of our activities under the new composition of the team.
