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.

Acquisition Spaans Babcock Anders Invest has acquired screw pump manufacturer Spaans Babcock from Balk. The company has an annual turnover of €20 to €25 million and employs over 100 people. Spaans Babcock engineers, produces, builds and installs screw pumps, screw generators, grids and aeration for wastewater treatment plants, pumping stations and hydroelectric power plants. The company is over 125 years old and was founded in 1897 by the Spaans family. In 1974, the company became part of the FKI Group Ltd., which also had a Babcock company in its group, and the current company name was created. In 1995, the company was acquired by the Alpha Group International. The company realises the majority of its turnover with screw pumps, aerators and hydro turbines, in which niche the company is the global market leader. A large production location is located in Balk where the screw pumps are produced using CNC-controlled machines and welding robots. The screw pump distinguishes itself from other pumping techniques because of its capacity, lifespan, insensitivity to contaminated liquids and energy efficiency. In addition, the screw is fish-friendly and maintains the biological balance in purification plants because the pump has no destructive effect on the composition of the liquid. In addition to the branch in Balk, there are branches in England and Canada/United States. The end customers are generally (waste) water purification companies, water boards (for example polder pumping stations) and companies active in the construction or operation of sewage treatment. With its own sales offices in England (Heywood) and Canada (Ontario), Spaans Babcock supplies its products worldwide. The shares in Spaans Babcock were acquired from Alpha Group International.  The Alpha Group is an investment vehicle of Mr. Nolst Trenité and Mr. Eijt. Mr. Eijt is general manager at Spaans Babcock and will remain as general manager and shareholder.
