Håndverkskompaniet and Adelis partner to create a leading rehabilitation services group in Norway

Adelis Equity

Tue, May 24, 2022 08:00 CET Report this content

Adelis and Håndverkskompaniet partner to create a leading building rehabilitation group in Norway. The group will focus on the growing segments for rehabilitation and renovation, and aims to consolidate the market and double revenue by 2025, through acquisitions and organic growth.

The Norwegian market for building rehabilitation, renovation and related services amounts to some NOK 200 billion per year and has seen stable historical growth. The market is expected to continue to grow, due to significant rehabilitation needs in both the public and commercial sector. At the same time, the industry is adapting to more ambitious sustainability targets, which include a shift from new build to rehabilitation, but also more innovative production processes, energy-efficient solutions, and circular models for re-usage of material and products.

“Adelis has followed the rehabilitation services market over many years and consolidated this industry in other Nordic markets. We see continuously increasing requirements in terms of quality and sustainability. Environmental emissions for the transformation of existing buildings and the reuse of materials are far more sustainable than replacing existing buildings with new ones. There is room for a larger professional group in this market, and we see Håndverkskompaniet as a strong platform to create such a group in Norway,” says Lene Stern from Adelis.

“We believe in a decentralized model where entrepreneurs can continue to operate under their own brand and nurture their own culture, while taking part in a larger group and collaborate and realize synergies. Our ambition is to strengthen the Norwegian group with another two to four companies during the first year”, says Jørgen Møinichen from Adelis.

Håndverkskompaniet is a Norwegian company specialized on building renovation and rehabilitation services in the Oslo area. The company was first established in 1994 and is a specialist on complex renovation projects related to offices, commercial buildings, sports facilities and other public specialist buildings.

“We believe Håndverkskompaniet has significant growth potential and know that Adelis has extensive experience in developing business services companies. The owners and the management team are excited to partner with Adelis to create the leading building rehabilitation services group in Norway,” says Håndverkskompaniet’s CEO Sivert Varvin.

Petter Eiken will be the new Chairman of Håndverkskompaniet and the future renovation services group, “Building restoration and renovation services will only be more important going forward and is a key enabler to a more sustainable society. I look forward to working together with Håndverkskompaniet and Adelis to develop a leading rehabilitation group in Norway”.

The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals. The parties have chosen not to disclose the purchase price.

AURELIUS Equity Opportunities subsidiary BMC Benelux acquires De Rycke Bouwmaterialen

Aurelius Capital
  • Strong start to the year also in the area of add-on acquisitions: Add-on-acquisitions to Building Partners Group, EIG and BMC with combined revenues of over EUR 80 million and strong EBITDA contribution
  • Strategic add-on acquisition De Rycke with significant synergy potential to BMC
  • Continuing exciting market environment with great opportunities for the AURELIUS business model expected

Munich, 14 February 2022 – AURELIUS Equity Opportunities SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN DE000A0JK2A8) announces the third add-on acquisition in year 2022. The group subsidiary BMC Benelux signed an agreement to acquire the building materials division of De Rycke, based in Beveren near Antwerp (Belgium). Together with the add-on acquisitions of Building Partners Group and EIG that have been announced since the start of the year, this increases AURELIUS consolidated revenues by over EUR 80m. The equity investment for all three add-on acquisitions is in the single-digit million euro range. The three companies make a mid-single-digit EBITDA contribution to the consolidated result, which will increase significantly through synergies with the existing portfolio companies.

The AURELIUS subsidiary BMC Benelux, a leading Belgian building materials merchant in the B2B sector, has agreed to acquire the building materials business of De Rycke. De Rycke Bouwmaterialen offers its customers a diverse product range and comprehensive services and consulting from new build projects to renovation. The Beveren location will be significantly strengthened by the integration into the BMC Benelux business and network. Through this acquisition, BMC Benelux will gain a presence in the Ghent – Antwerp – Brussels region. For De Rycke and BMC, this creates significant synergy and market potential to the existing business.

“With these three acquisitions, we have made a very good start to the new year in terms of acquisitions and have been able to strategically strengthen three of our group companies through add-ons,” Matthias Täubl, CEO of AURELIUS Equity Opportunities, is pleased to report. “The market environment remains exciting, we continue to see great opportunities for our business model in the turbulence caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. We expect the market for group spin-offs to remain dynamic and this will create interesting opportunities for us to make acquisitions in all three segments we address – co-investments, platform investments and also in the area of strategic add-on acquisitions to strengthen our existing group companies.”

BMC Benelux is one of the top five players in a large market that remains highly fragmented. Under the two brand names YouBuild and Mpro, BMC Benelux primarily targets small and medium-sized professional customers in the construction industry. The retail chain has a dense branch network throughout Belgium, a wide product range and excellent services, such as delivery, cutting and rental of specialty tools. BMC Benelux has been part of AURELIUS since October 2019.
