Van Moer

Van Moer is a globally active company specialised in the production and distribution of certified, high-tech, and customer-specific workwear. The Belgian company has been operationally active for over a century and has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by advanced technological developments in the cleantech, healthcare, and military sectors. The company employs around one hundred people in R&D, sales, and distribution at its headquarters in Hulshout, Belgium, and its facility in the Netherlands. For the past thirty years, garment manufacturing has primarily taken place in Tunisia and Slovakia.

With a strong focus on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Van Moer is committed to creating a positive impact on society and the environment. Over the years, the company has implemented several initiatives to make its production processes more sustainable. In addition to using recycled materials and adopting efficient production methods, improving the circular economy within the sector remains a key priority in its operations.

Arxior and Vectis aim to support Van Moer in its continued growth and innovation. They plan to make strategic investments in new technologies and expand into new markets. Through collaboration, they will enhance operational efficiency and create new opportunities for employees and customers alike. As part of this strategy, a buy-and-build program will be initiated.

 

VDP acted as the exclusive advisor to Van Moer and Wagram Private Equity.
