Factor & Ros assisted Vanmac Group with participation of Anders Invest Invest

Following an intensive acquisition process, private equity fund Anders Invest has acquired a minority stake in Vanmac Group from Amersfoort consisting of the Trilo and Vanmac divisions.

The company manufactures machinery for the turf industry, green and sports field management, green management at airports and waste collection. The company has revenues of €15-20 million and employs about 60 people.

Vanmac Group finds its roots in Van Loen Techniek B.V., founded in 1932. Under the name Trilo, it markets machines of its own manufacture. Vanmac produces leaf blowers, mowing trailers, leaf vacuum trucks and (waste) suction containers. The Trilo mowing trailer is a unique machine that cuts and sucks up grass in one and the same movement. It enables green managers at airports to keep grass at an ideal height while minimizing bird nuisance and the associated risk of 'bird strikes'. The company has production sites in Amersfoort and Vietnam and a sales office in England. Through direct sales and a dealer network, Vanmac achieves worldwide sales.

Anders Invest acquired the shares in Vanmac Group from current owners Peter van Mispelaar and Leo van Loen, who remain committed to the company as long-term shareholders. In 2027, Anders Invest will expand its stake in Vanmac to a majority of the shares. The current managing director, Christiaan Arends will also join as a shareholder. Together with the existing management team, they will be actively committed to the growth and professionalization of the organization.
