Ivo Verhees, Peter Clijmans and Jean-Pierre Kokx, the current management of Mapeco, have built up their expertise through years of experience in the tools, machinery, accessories and workwear sector. Mapeco, the one-stop shop supplier for SMEs, the self-employed and industrial construction companies, operates from four branches in Antwerp and Vilvoorde, and has an online website. With a team of 80 employees, Mapeco serves a broad customer base. The Smart Deal enables the gradual transfer of shares within the management team. In recent years, Mapeco has experienced significant growth, in part due to strategic acquisitions. With the ambition to continue this growth, Mapeco has opted for a Smart Deal. Within this Smart Deal, the founders and the CEO will reinvest substantially alongside the management team.
This transaction reinforces the buy-and-build ambition and enables Mapeco to take a leading role in further consolidating this sector. External directors strengthen the company to further roll out the broader business strategy.
SDM Corporate Finance Group executed the Smart Deal from A to Z, relieving the entrepreneur and the Smart Deal investors to the maximum extent possible.
