As a result, we now have a strong and focused company that is well prepared for the next phase. We are grateful to Paul for his valuable contribution.”

Together with colleagues, we have taken important steps to strengthen Louwman’s long-term positioning and to enhance the focus on our core activities. I look back with great appreciation on the collaboration with the Louwman family, the management team and all colleagues.”

In the coming period, Louwman Group will focus on further strengthening and growing its activities, with a clear focus on automotive, bicycles and mobility services. Further details regarding the leadership transition will be announced in the near future.
