Industry refers to the manufacture of goods from raw materials. Next to this heavy industry also exists the manufacturing of goods. A large part of the revenue in the manufacturing and industry sector in the Netherlands is achieved through exports, about 70% (for the entire Dutch economy this is about 30%). Therefore, there is a lot of competition within this sector, and as a result of internationalization, innovativeness is becoming increasingly important.
The buying and selling of Industry & Manufacturing companies is a lively market, although it largely takes place behind the scenes. The sector represents a large share of the total number of mergers and acquisitions in the Netherlands.
Every party active in the takeover market wants to know the value of a company. With the Brookz Takeover Barometer we gauge the so-called multiples every six months. Looking at the past five years, the multiple for the Industry & Manufacturing sector is always slightly higher than for SMEs.
