Wilvo Group

In 1970, founders Ton Willems and Jan Vosters established Wilvo, a metalworking company in the Netherlands. The business grew steadily, building a reputation for processing precision sheet metal parts and assembling light construction components. Their focus on operational excellence, a highly automated machine park, and skilled craftsmanship formed the company's foundation. A significant shift occurred in May 2019 when the private equity firm Borromin Capital Fund acquired a majority stake. This event marked the beginning of a new chapter focused on accelerated growth. Under Borromin's ownership, Wilvo embarked on an aggressive buy-and-build strategy, completing five acquisitions between September 2020 and October 2023. This series of acquisitions expanded its technological capabilities and market reach, particularly in sectors like semiconductors and industrial automation. By late 2023, the company had transformed. In November, Borromin sold its stake to another private equity investor, Rivean Capital, in a secondary buyout. This move was designed to support Wilvo Group's next phase of international growth and further solidify its position as a key supplier for high-tech industries.
