Investment company Down2Earth signs with Limburg-based Accuramed.
These are busy times for Down2Earth Capital, the investor of, among others, former top manager Ivo Marechal (ex-H.Essers). In just five months Down2Earth has already announced its fourth investment. This time it concerns the company Accuramed from Halen, Limburg. This is a distributor of lab equipment and cardiorespiratory devices, such as bicycles for heart tests, which operates throughout the Benelux and has over 250 hospitals, commercial laboratories and medical practices among its customers.
Accuramed was founded in 2000 by Jozef Knez, who died in 2022. His sons Filip and Karel jointly ran and built the company. Down2Earth is now stepping into the capital to support further growth, according to a press release from the investment company. Key management figures will remain on board and co-invest alongside Down2Earth. Details on the exact proportions or amounts are not disclosed.
The Limburg-based firm plans to accelerate its growth by expanding its product range and entering new markets. In addition to growth under its own steam, Accuramed is also aiming for targeted acquisitions, a proven strategy when taking on an investment company. Accuramed employs nearly 30 people and had sales of 14 million euros in 2023.
