Participation Arte

Last week Anders Invest realized a 70% participation in Arte Holding from Helmond. Arte is a top player in the production of sustainable worktops in granite, composite, Dekton and ceramics. Arte has a turnover of approximately € 15-20 million and offers employment to 65 employees.

Arte started in 1995 in Deurne and since the move to Helmond in 2001, production has been carried out with high-quality machinery and advanced automation. Arte produces kitchen worktops and stone applications for interior projects. Sale is to a wide circle of kitchen specialists, interior designers and architects in the middle and high segment.

Arte has a modern and highly automated production facility with CNC machines, polishing machines, water jets and robotized transport and storage systems.

The company has a strong eye for sustainability and CSR and has been nominated for the Koning Willem I prize for this. In addition to an independent foundation, Arte has set up a project: 'Arte Right To Education' (A.R.T.E.) with the aim of creating a child labor free zone around the quarries where Arte purchases its granite.

Anders Invest acquires its interest from founder and general manager Hugo van Osch. Niels van den Beucken will retain an interest in the company and will manage the company together with new shareholder Froukje van Osch. Anders Invest will continue to work actively with the current management to continue growth and further professionalize the organization.

Bos acquires ConnectinQ BOS Woodworking Factory Solutions has acquired ConnectinQ Software and ConnectinQ, two companies based in Harlingen specializing in software solutions and engineering for prefabricated timber frame construction, respectively. With this acquisition, BOS expands its offering from machinery to the software that controls the entire production process, as well as the underlying engineering expertise. ConnectinQ Software develops software for prefabricated timber frame construction. The Produuz.it platform provides digital control for the factories and connects BIM models, work preparation, production, and the shop floor in a single environment. This ensures that the entire process from BIM drawing to production-ready control of CNC machines is completely paperless. Additionally, ConnectinQ Software is working on Prefabmatrix, a new development that enables automated calculations, schedule creation, order management, post-calculation, and financial administration based on IFC models. ConnectinQ is a drafting firm with extensive engineering knowledge of timber frame construction. With the combination of knowledge of the machines, the product, and its development, BOS expects to be able to support its customers even better in the future. The acquisition aligns with BOS's strategy to offer customers total solutions rather than individual components. While BOS has been supplying the machines customers use for production for years through Bos Machines and H&M Machines, ConnectinQ adds the software that controls that process. This allows the group to support the entire chain from drawing to production. ConnectinQ and H&M Machines are already collaborating on several projects. "We see in practice that together we can mean more to customers, and customers are enthusiastic about that," says Teus Jan de Jong, CEO of the BOS Group. "This acquisition is the logical next step. We all believe in the long term, and that is also evident in how we have structured things." With the acquisition, the group's shareholder structure has been adjusted. In addition to strategic partner Anders Invest, Tom Eijkenaar (Managing Director of ConnectinQ), Jan Willem Dijkstra (Managing Director of H&M Machines), and Teus Jan de Jong (CEO of the BOS Group) are acquiring a stake in the group. With this, BOS ensures strategic cohesion and long-term commitment. Founder Tom Eijkenaar will remain associated with ConnectinQ and continue to expand the company within the group. About ConnectinQ Based in Harlingen, ConnectinQ develops custom software for prefabricated timber frame construction. A defining characteristic of the company is that the team masters both IT and woodworking, a combination rare in the sector. The Prefabmatrix product links design, work preparation, production, and administration in a single environment. About BOS Woodworking Factory Solutions BOS Woodworking Factory Solutions supplies machines and solutions for the woodworking industry, with Bos Machines and H&M Machines as parts of the group.
