Capital and Opportunity Partners acquire Hurks Prefab division

The industrial building components division (€120m sales and 360 employees) of Hurks Group, named Hurks Bouwcomponenten en Engineering, is an international trendsetter in building with so-called prefab elements, which are concrete façade elements fabricated in a conditioned environment and assembled on the building site.

The company is the only player in the world that has all specialisms under one roof: an engineering division, an automated reinforcement steel plant, a formwork division, a highly innovative masonry system, specialized aluminum façade technology, assembly and project management. The firm combines these qualities into a total concept in which engineering, production and assembly seamlessly complement each other and it enables the company to offer complete wind- and watertight offices, hospitals or residential towers including façade, insulation, doors, windows and integrated brickwork.

HB Capital is the investment company of the Blokker family and focuses on strong, mid-sized companies with growth perspective. HB Capital invests both directly in companies (on its own or with other participating investors) and indirectly through fund structures and partnerships. The firm invests both in public and privately owned companies and in equity as well as debt.

Opportunity Partners is the investment company of Robert van der Wallen, who, after the sale of BrandLoyalty, invests the capital both directly in companies and indirectly through funds like Parcom Capital.

Jacco van Dijk, CEO of the new company: “Management has full trust in the future of this company. That is why we have taken the opportunity to participate in the new company. This is the start of a new era, in which the company can grow even faster with its new owners. We are very grateful to the Hurks family for their vision, unbridled commitment and trust. They have made this company the success story it is nowadays. The challenge facing us now is to take the company a step further. We look forward to cooperating with HB Capital and Opportunity Partners.”
