“Ackermans & van Haaren fully focussed on the further expansion of its core sectors in 2018. The fact that the resulting contribution of these participations has increased by 35.4 million euros (+13%), to a record level of 312.4 million euros, is satisfactory to us.
We have made strategic choices within the portfolio throughout the year, and have sold our participations in Atenor, BDM-Asco and Distriplus. This has freed up people and resources for new initiatives aiming at sustainable growth of Ackermans & van Haaren, both within the current portfolio as through new investments, such as the recently announced new participation in Biolectric.“
