Louwman has reached an agreement in principle with investment firm Aurelius regarding the acquisition of all activities of the Care division.

This step is in line with Louwman’s strategic course, which focuses on where Louwman has the most strength and added value: the automotive and bicycle industry, and related mobility services such as financial services and rental.

Louwman considers it of great social importance that people with disabilities have and maintain access to mobility. With Aurelius as a new shareholder, the Care division will have a solid foundation for further growth and continuity.

“Our Care division has made a meaningful contribution to our mission: a passion for moving people. Every day, our colleagues work to keep people mobile. That work deserves recognition and continuity,” says Paul de Krom, CEO of Louwman. “With this intended decision, we confidently choose a future in which these activities can continue to grow with a partner that offers the right focus and space.”

Gilles van Kooten, Managing Director Benelux at AURELIUS Investment Advisory, says: “Louwman’s Care division plays an essential role in the Netherlands. We look forward to working with the management team to build on this strong foundation and contribute to reliable services and sustainable growth.”

The proposed acquisition is subject to approval by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) and has been submitted to the relevant joint works council (GeOR) for advice. The expectation is that the acquisition will be fully completed by the end of 2025 or early next year.

Louwman Group was advised on this transaction by Clairfield (M&A), NautaDutilh (Legal), and KPMG Meijburg (Tax).
