When Peter Toes and Ronald Toes, owners of Valveco, were looking for a partner to support their growth ambitions they found a great match in Pindustry. As third brother, we bring the necessary resources to strengthen this exceptional family business’ position in current markets and expand into new ones. Valveco and Pindustry have entered a collaborative partnership starting 10 October 2022. The partnership aims to strengthen Valveco’s growth opportunities and competitive advantage and expand into new markets.
Valveco is a leading international supplier of valves, actuators, pipe couplings, air vent heads, flanges, and services for the maritime and offshore sector. From its HQ in Barendrecht, the Netherlands, Valveco serves a network of strategic locations in Portugal, Spain, Poland, and the United States that provide customers with local delivery and tech support.
Pindustry is an independent investment company. Its founders share the same ambition: enable innovators of industrial products in the Benelux, the UK and Germany, with a turnover of up to 50 million Euro, to grow their business and their impact. Pindustry does this by helping the companies realize their strategic goals, supporting the management team with financial, strategic, and hands-on support.
