UK-based private equity firm Equistone Partners has acquired a majority stake in BUKO, a Dutch company that provides outsourced traffic and security management solutions, from Dutch private equity firm Scheybeeck Investments. Equistone will work with current shareholders Scheybeeck Investments, the family office of the Burger family and the wider management team, which will reinvest in the business as part of the transaction.
The partnership with Equistone is intended to further support the company's continued growth and development. Above all, the focus will be on capitalizing on strong market dynamics driven primarily by further investments in digital and energy transition-related infrastructure and road maintenance, as well as increasing the company's geographic footprint.
