Other

During the past 10 years the company has always shown a substantial volume in sales (> € 30 million) and EBITDA each year. An onerous contract with a large customer in 2016 has temporarily resulted in a decrease in sales and a write-down of the relevant claim by the company. Presently the account-management has been restored and the sales volumes and EBITDA figures are growing again, with the realistic potential to reach sales levels > € 50 million and EBITDA levels > € 1,5 million, including synergies that a strategic buyer will be able to realize.
The financial position of the company is excellent. Due to the nature of the business, the main assets of the company are inventory (average turnover approximately 36 days) and trade receivables (average approximately 30 days).The outstanding quality of its product- and client portfolio allows the company an advantageous and fitting factoring financing arrangement with a world class international bank.
