Simona acquires Dutch suppliers of cable protection solutions

SIMONA AG plans to acquire 100 percent of the ownership interests in Electroplast B. V. and Dutchclamp B. V., based in Dordrecht, Netherlands. Electroplast is a provider of plastic solutions for the protection of cables and pipes, the focus being on cable protection sheets and ducts. Dutchclamp develops and produces plastic cable clamps and blocks for mounting low-, medium-, and high-voltage cables. Together, the two companies generate revenue of around €17 million and employ a workforce of more than 30 people. The customer base of the two companies consists primarily of grid operators, energy suppliers, distributors, and companies involved in the expansion of fiber optics.

This acquisition will allow the Infrastructure business line to expand its product portfolio in the segment of cable protection. Electroplast's product range is aimed primarily at the protection of underground infrastructure relating to transmission and distribution networks. The high proportion of recycling-based solutions within Electroplast's portfolio complements the SIMONA range of sustainable products – in line with the clearly defined target set out in the company's sustainability strategy. Dutchclamp brings products to the SIMONA Group that ensure secure fastening and reliable operation, particularly in substations and in the installation of low-, medium-, and high-voltage cables.

The seller of the two entities is the holding company Slagboom Beheer B.V, Dordrecht, Netherlands. The closing of the transaction is to be concluded as soon as possible. The transaction is being executed as part of a so-called locked-box procedure, whereby economic transfer will take place retroactively as of January 1, 2025. The parties involved have agreed not to disclose details regarding the purchase price.
