INDUS strengthens Infrastructure segment with complementary acquisition

• INDUS portfolio company BETOMAX acquires QUICK Bauprodukte GmbH
• Specialist for formwork and reinforcement accessories and bridge construction equipment
• Portfolio expansion in the future topic Infrastructure Buildings

Bergisch Gladbach, 16 January 2023 – BETOMAX Systems GmbH & Co. KG, a subsidiary of stock exchange-listed INDUS Holding AG, is acquiring 100 percent of the shares in QUICK Bauprodukte GmbH. At its headquarters in Schwerte, QUICK produces and sells standard and special components for bridge construction, structural and civil engineering as well as tunnel construction. The medium-sized company employs some 45 people and generated annual sales of around 8 million euros in 2022.

“With its broad, highly individualized portfolio of formwork and reinforcement accessories, QUICK complements our existing product range and offers us new market opportunities, especially in the bridge construction sector,” says Gregor Püttmann, Managing Director of BETOMAX Systems. The product portfolio of BETOMAX Systems, headquartered in Neuss, comprises components and systems for structural concrete engineering and civil engineering with a focus on reinforcement and reverse bending connectors. “QUICK stands out by high production efficiency and adaptability,” adds Gregor Püttmann. “Delivery of customized products directly to the construction site within one week is standard. This requires profound product know-how, which will certainly benefit us in the form of corresponding technological input.”

Andreas von Döllen, former owner and previous sole Managing Director, will continue to run the company as Managing Director. “When I was looking for a successor solution, I attached great importance to maintaining QUICK’s operational independence while at the same time further strengthening the company’s competitive position,” says Andreas von Döllen. “Due to our similar sales approach based on direct marketing and our high level of expertise for special solutions, BETOMAX and QUICK can stimulate each other and facilitate market access. INDUS as a partner in the background provides the necessary stability and financial strength to exploit this potential.”

“With our ‘PARKOUR perform’ strategy, we are focusing on the targeted acquisition of medium-sized high-tech companies that are successful in key growth markets. Infrastructure Buildings is such a future topic,” says Dr. Jörn Großmann, the INDUS Board member responsible for the Infrastructure segment. “In view of the increasing urbanization and growing mobility, a considerable expansion of supply routes is expected in the coming years. Bridge construction and renovation are particularly important growth drivers for QUICK – and for INDUS’ Infrastructure segment.”
