BLUE WORKX ACQUIRES KBK CARROSSERIE Two specialised companies are joining forces, bringing together their expertise, people and technical capabilities.
A STRATEGIC MOVE
The acquisition supports the growth strategy of Blue Workx. By incorporating the activities of KBK Carrosserie, the company can offer an even broader range of solutions to customers in transport, vehicle body construction and the precast concrete industry.
At the same time, the partnership creates a strong foundation for further development. The modern production capabilities and technical expertise of Blue Workx are combined with the many years of experience, skilled employees and established customer base of KBK Carrosserie.
TWO COMPANIES,
COMPLEMENTARY EXPERTISE
KBK Carrosserie specialises in a wide variety of commercial vehicle bodies for both enclosed and open applications. The company also provides body repairs, refurbishments and maintenance, as well as tail lift maintenance and LPK inspections.
KBK has a team of eight experienced employees serving a loyal customer base that includes several leading dealerships in Limburg.
Blue Workx manufactures transport and storage systems for the precast concrete industry. Its experienced team uses modern production technologies, including laser cutting and robotic welding.
A BROADER PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
The activities of KBK Carrosserie are a valuable addition to the existing solutions and services offered by Blue Workx.
GREATER TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES
Combining vehicle body construction, structural steelwork, an extensive range of machinery and technical expertise creates opportunities for new and more comprehensive custom-made solutions.
CONTINUITY FOR CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES
The acquisition enables the companies to continue serving existing customers, further strengthen valuable relationships and offer skilled employees solid long-term prospects.
CONFIDENCE IN
THE FUTURE
Mat Kessels, owner of KBK Carrosserie, considers Blue Workx the right partner to safeguard the future and continuity of KBK. In his view, the two companies complement each other well and can continue to strengthen one another in the years ahead.
Wim Killaars highlights the added value of the extensive machinery and technical expertise available at Blue Workx. He sees KBK as a strong fit with the Blue Workx business philosophy and looks forward to working with Fred Driessen, Rico Schinck and their team.
Fred Driessen also views the acquisition as a welcome expansion. KBK has built a strong regional reputation and a loyal customer base. According to Driessen, KBK forms the connecting link between the structural steelwork activities of Blue Workx and the commercial vehicle workshop of Driessen Techniek.
Rico Schinck welcomes the new colleagues and hopes they will quickly feel at home within Blue Workx.
ONE STRONGER ORGANISATION
The acquisition brings vehicle body construction, structural steelwork, modern production technologies and hands-on service closer together. The result is an organisation with greater technical strength and a broader offering for both existing and new customers.
