The Dutch VDL Groep has acquired Limoco, a Belgian family-owned company specializing in turnkey industrial ventilation and extraction systems.
Based in Opglabbeek, Limburg, Limoco brings decades of expertise in custom air technology solutions, further strengthening VDL’s position in the sector.
The acquisition aligns with VDL’s long-standing presence in industrial air technology through its subsidiary, VDL Industrial Products, and marks a strategic move to enhance its offerings in food, high-tech, and mobility markets.
Limoco, founded in 1975, has built a reputation for delivering tailored solutions – from design to installation – with a focus on quality, safety, and compliance. The company, which employs 50 people and generates an annual turnover of around 10 million euros, has collaborated closely with VDL for over 20 years. By integrating Limoco’s engineering and project management capabilities with VDL’s component supply, the combined entity aims to provide end-to-end solutions, including maintenance and service, to meet growing demand for single-source providers in industrial air technology.
Tim Stinkens, Limoco’s CEO, describes the acquisition as a “major step forward” in the company’s development, emphasizing the benefits of VDL’s stability and global reach.
Willem van der Leegte, President-Director of VDL Groep, highlights the synergies between the two companies, noting that shared knowledge, operational efficiencies, and joint market opportunities will drive future growth. The partnership is expected to bolster VDL’s competitive edge while supporting Limoco’s expansion in both domestic and international markets.
