This company is a leading player in property maintenance, transformation, and renovation, with a strong focus on roofs and facades. This acquisition perfectly aligns with our strategy to collaborate with successful companies with growth potential. Wessels’ expertise in sustainable construction solutions and strategic acquisitions makes them an ideal partner. Together, we aim to accelerate their growth and further strengthen their position as a market leader.”
