Overview
During our ownership, Hyva transformed from a Dutch-based business to a global market leader and tripled its turnover. This significant internationalisation included an acceleration of capex, with eight factories built in BRIC markets, and the development of manufacturing, R&D and sales/service infrastructure in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
How we added value
- Global leader with 60% market share in its relevant markets
- 3-fold growth in turnover during our investment
- Emerging markets sales increased from 23% at investment to 70% at exit
- Increase in international footprint from 16 to 32 countries
- Product line extended through strategic acquisitions
I would like to thank 3i for their continuous support for our successful entrepreneurial and global growth in transforming a European Dutch based business into a truly global player with a market leading position in all the countries in which we operate.
