Anders Invest has acquired a stake in Straatman
Anders Invest has acquired a 51% stake in Straatman, a manufacturer of balcony railings and balustrades from Varsseveld. The company has an annual turnover of €20 to €25 million and employs nearly 100 people.
Straatman Building Smart Connections, founded in 1991, specializes in balustrades and stairs for apartment complexes. The Varsseveld-based company designs, manufactures, and installs customized solutions in series that combine safety, innovation, and visual appeal.
By digitizing and automating every step in the process as much as possible, from 3D engineering to production, the company succeeds in realizing tightly managed construction processes with short installation times on site. This expertise makes the company particularly strong in apartment complexes where large quantities and varieties must be built within a short timeframe. Since 2017, turnover has tripled and the company has increased its market share, particularly with large Dutch construction companies.
Anders Invest holds a 51% stake alongside the two existing shareholders. Albert ten Wolde (59), involved with Straatman since 1999, is the driving force behind innovation and product development. Bart Peters (39) joined the company in 2006 as a project engineer and subsequently held various key roles within the company. He excels at optimizing processes and strengthening teams and will take on the role of Managing Director. Together, Albert and Bart combine innovative strength with a sharp focus on scalability and productivity. Anders Invest's participation will enable the company to continue fulfilling its growth ambitions in the long term.
