As of January 1, 2023, Rien Wisse will start as Investment Director at Anders Invest Industrial Fund. He has 20 years of experience as CEO of BUVA, an innovative company in the field of hinges and locks for doors and windows, home ventilation and sustainable heating concepts.

Rien brings relevant operational experience from the results achieved at BUVA:
Digitization: strong transition to digital processes, for example EDI with customers and suppliers, ERP implementation, controlling machines at another location, remote working for everyone, etc.
Production automation: converted to 24/6, of which manned 8 hours a day. Rest of the day BUVA is a “dark factory”.
Logistics concept: at BUVA everything is delivered on trolleys. Pallets, cardboard, plastic have been abolished as much as possible.
Before that, Rien worked for more than 10 years at Alcoa Bouw Groep in management positions of companies that supplied the construction industry. His background is in HTS Architecture and Business Administration. Within the Industry Fund he will be responsible for companies from the construction cluster: Bincx (including Hutten Metaal), Bos Machines, Topvorm and VIOS.
