Anders Invest participates in Banzo

On March 31, 2021, Anders Invest realized a 60% participation in Banzo from Hoogeveen. The company designs and supplies recycling installations. Banzo has a turnover of € 15-20 million and employs more than 35 permanent employees. For Anders Invest, it is the 21st holding in its industry fund.

 

Founded in 1947, Banzo ( website ) designs, assembles, installs and maintains recycling facilities for all major Dutch garbage processors. The company specializes in so-called post-separation installations, in which residual waste (gray waste flow), green waste or construction / demolition waste is subdivided into separate waste flows that can then be further upgraded to valuable residual flows and raw materials with additional reprocessing installations. In this way, waste processors are able to reduce waste incineration and Banzo contributes to the cradle-to-cradle use of raw materials. The Netherlands is at the forefront in the approach to recycling, changing legislation in the European Union that prevents landfilling and incineration of waste offers opportunities for Banzo abroad.

 

Anders Invest has acquired its interest from the current owner and general manager Mr Marcel Kroon. He took over Banzo in 2011 and the company has grown significantly since then. After the takeover, the focus will mainly be on further professionalizing the company and making use of the international expansion opportunities that the company has. Mr Kroon will remain with the company for an indefinite period as shareholder and general manager and looks forward to furthering the company together with the team in Hoogeveen and Anders Invest.

Anders Invest invests in Genap Anders Invest has acquired a 49% stake in Genap, based in ’s-Heerenberg. Genap delivers custom-made liner and water storage systems for horticulture, agriculture and civil engineering and infrastructure (GWW). The company generates annual revenue of approximately €25 million and employs over 100 people. For decades, Genap has been a leading player in the field of water and liquid storage. From its headquarters and main production facility in ’s-Heerenberg, and its second production location in Steenwijk, the company develops high-quality liner solutions used worldwide. These range from water silos and basins for greenhouse horticulture to sealing solutions for large-scale infrastructure projects and manure storage systems in the agricultural sector. Genap’s strength lies in the combination of in-house material processing, craftsmanship and deep technical expertise. Plastics such as HDPE and LLDPE are processed internally and extensively tested in the laboratory, where R&D and certified welding processes ensure consistent and verifiable quality. Within the civil engineering and infrastructure sector, Genap works on major projects, from roads and tunnels to the sealing of landfills. The company installs large areas of waterproof geomembranes, sometimes more than 100,000 m² per project. Genap particularly distinguishes itself through a capability mastered by only a few parties: the skilled installation of these waterproof layers in wet conditions. Genap supplies and installs its systems worldwide, supported by a network of its own locations and partners. For the international horticulture market, the company has local production and installation capabilities in, among others, Canada and Mexico. This keeps lead times short and enables projects in those regions to be managed directly and efficiently. In the agricultural sector, Genap has been providing reliable manure storage systems for decades. These solutions align with increasingly stringent regulations and play an important role in reducing odor and CO2 emissions. Dick van Regteren will remain in place as CEO and shareholder. With Anders Invest’s participation, Genap will focus on further professionalizing the organization, expanding international production capacity, and continuing to develop solutions for water and manure storage and liner systems for the civil engineering and infrastructure sector.
