VAF Instruments B.V. is a leading global developer and manufacturer of high-tech sensors and measurement systems for the marine, power plant and industrial sectors.

Our role in the transaction

Oaklins' Dutch team acted as the exclusive M&A advisor to the shareholders of VAF Instruments. This transaction is a testament to the expertise of Oaklins' Marine Equipment team, which has advised on numerous mergers and acquisitions in the sector, including Vetus (sold to Yanmar), IMS (sold to Norac) and TMC Compressors (sold to Lifco), among others. It was the team's thorough understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing global marine equipment suppliers that led VAF Instruments to choose to work with Oaklins.
