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.
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.
