As of October 14, HCTS Holding has acquired 100% of the shares in Boekestijn Elektrotech. Both HCTS and Boekestijn will continue to operate independently, maintaining their own names and identities.
With this step, HCTS and Boekestijn strengthen both their collaboration and their position in the Dutch greenhouse horticulture sector. The partnership is a logical response to the ongoing scaling-up and consolidation within the horticultural industry, as well as the growing demand for innovative and sustainable (electro)technical solutions. By combining their expertise and experience, both companies will be able to offer even stronger support to their customers. At the same time, their joint position as Hoogendoorn dealers will be further reinforced.
The acquisition will not affect employment. Both companies will continue their activities from their existing locations in De Lier, Bleiswijk, Venlo, and Klazienaveen.
