Takeover of JMV by Hemmink

M.J. Hemmink Holding B.V. (Hemmink) acquired one hundred per cent of the shares in Jansen's Metaalwaren B.V. (JMV). AKD acted as advisors to Hemmink.

Hemmink operates a business that is involved in importing and selling a wide range of electrical articles, including fastening and security equipment, technical tapes and cable television components and systems. Hemmink primarily serves electrical engineering wholesalers, installers and housing associations in the luxury house-building, non-residential and industrial sectors. The Hemmink company has been a constant and reliable feature of the electrical engineering and cable television market for almost sixty years.

JMV is a leading manufacturer and supplier of electrical installation equipment, with an emphasis on fastening and professional grounding. JMV also makes and supplies plastic products for fastening pipes.

Hemmink has been acting as the agent for JMV for the Dutch market since 1989. This partnership has finally resulted in the parties deciding to make the arrangement permanent by means of this transaction.

The AKD team consisted of Carlos Pita Cao, Diane de Vries and Laura de Jong. Pieter Huys and Dorien van Straten worked on the due diligence investigation and Huib Berendschot gave advice in relation to the intellectual property aspects of the transaction.
