Oaklins' team in the Netherlands advised the buyer in this transaction. The team's specialist commented: “The construction-related sectors are experiencing difficult market conditions which provide opportunities for consolidation. Mergers and acquisitions create cost savings in the back office and provide other economies of scale advantages. Köhlerwoodcap is perfectly positioned for this consolidation and has made a good start with acquiring the remaining stake in Vawa."
