Connect Group acquires Halin

Connect Group strengthens position in the Netherlands by acquiring Halin

The transfer of the shares will take place in January 2012. Halin Group consists of 4 companies: Halin Group BV, Halin Electronics BV, Halin Industrial Solutions BV and Halin Communication Technology BV. Halin Communication Technology BV is not included in the takeover. Just like Connect Group, Halin Group is an electronics - mechatronics subcontractor, operating primarily on the Dutch market. The Halin Group employs around 120 people at Veldhoven, Netherlands, and has an annual turnover of around EUR 20 million. Martin Saris, CEO Halin: "We are very pleased to become part of Connect Group. Our stable customer group, our operational expertise in a number of fields and our ISO 13485 certificate for the medical sector will certainly deliver added value to Connect Group. On the other hand, the availability of production capacity in Eastern Europe and Connect Group's broader technology base will help us in further expanding our organization in the Netherlands. It is clear to us from our discussions with Connect Group management that combining our companies creates a win-win situation for both sides. This was very important for us in choosing whether to become part of Connect Group." Luc Switten, CEO Connect Group: "Our position on the Dutch market is significantly strengthened by the integration of Halin into Connect Group. Halin has a strong name and position in the Dutch subcontracting market. Halin will be able to take full benefit of our production capacities in Romania and the Czech Republic which will improve Halin's competitiveness. We also see potential cost reductions in the medium term by integrating our activities."
