Investment in TMS Werkendam

On 26 May 2021 Anders Invest acquired 70% of the shares in TMS from Werkendam. The company develops and assembles custom mechanical installations for use in offshore wind, maritime and civil markets. TMS has a turnover of € 15-20 million and employs approximately 25 permanent employees. It is the 22nd investment in the Anders Invest Industry Fund.

Founded in 1994, TMS focuses on the engineering and delivery of unique custom installations that are used, for example, in the construction of offshore wind farms. Think of pile plugs and foundation installations for the French offshore wind farm at Saint-Nazaire and special cranes and manipulators for use on ships and civil works. The company's customer base consists of established (international) players active in offshore, maritime and civil markets. TMS is involved by its customers from the concept phase in the engineering of the special and deviating solutions that are required for the ever-changing applications and increasing safety requirements. The TMS workforce consists mainly of engineers. Production of the specific parts is outsourced to partners, the final assembly takes place in-house. The company is located in the harbor of Werkendam, where it has a modern office, recently built assembly halls and quay facilities.

Anders Invest acquired its interest from the current owners of TMS, Mr Cees van Wendel de Joode and Mr Marco van Driel. They founded TMS in 1994 and since then the company has grown strongly. In mid-2020, the management was supplemented with the arrival of Mr Jan Albert Westerbeek. Jan Albert, former CEO at IHC IQIP, has a large network in the industry in which TMS is active. His experience with processes and adjacent markets are of great value for the further professionalization and expansion of TMS. The management jointly holds a 30% interest and remains associated with the company for an indefinite period of time.

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.
