Bolster sells Holonite to BUVA

After a partnership of eight years Bolster Investment Partners and co-shareholders sell Holonite to BUVA homecare systems. The merger of Holonite and BUVA homecare systems creates a new market leader in the market for window and door thresholds.

In 2013, Van Lanschot Participaties, Bolster’s predecessor, acquired a majority stake in Holonite, a leading player in sustainable and high-quality composite stone building elements within the construction and window frame industry. In recent years, Holonite further strengthened its position in the Dutch market through, amongst others, the acquisition of competitor Anda Kunststeen in 2019

Due to the strength of both brands, BUVA and Holonite will continue to operate independently alongside each other. In addition to strengthening the market position, there are several synergies to be gained for BUVA and Holonite in terms of production, purchasing, sales and product development.

Paul Konings, Managing Director of Holonite: “We would like to thank Bolster Investment Partners for the constructive cooperation over the past years, and look forward to realizing our plans for the coming years together with BUVA.”

Michiel van Wissen, partner at Bolster Investment Partners: “We are convinced that with Buva we have found the ideal partner for Holonite to further expand its market leading position. We look back on a pleasant collaboration with Paul Konings, the rest of the Holonite team and the Supervisory Board.”
