For over half a century, Oudenaarde-based Audoorn & Co has been a household name in the East Flemish road construction sector. Under the leadership of Lisette and Guy Audoorn, the company evolved into a specialist in public works, with a strong focus on road infrastructure and earthworks for cities and municipalities.
To drive the next phase of growth and future-proof the business, Lisette and Guy looked for a strategic partner. They found the perfect match in neighboring firm Wannijn, based in Kluisbergen. As a dynamic family business with over 50 employees, Wannijn is a recognized player in infrastructure, landscaping, and hydraulic engineering.
For Managing Director Wim Wannijn, this acquisition aligns perfectly with the company’s growth strategy. The integration not only preserves Audoorn & Co’s expertise and craftsmanship, but also creates new opportunities for staff development and professionalization. Clients are guaranteed the same trusted quality, now backed by the robust capabilities of the Wannijn Group.
The shareholders of Audoorn & Co were exclusively advised by SDM-BlueBridge, who guided the transaction from the beginning and handled the entire process.
