Elektramat finds partner in Parcom for further growth

Elektramat and investment company Parcom have reached an agreement for Parcom to join the online electrical wholesaler as a co-shareholder. Founder Ruud Pierik and Managing Director Mike van Klaveren will remain significant shareholders in the company, and Mike van Klaveren will continue in his role as Managing Director. Parcom will join as a partner to support Elektramat in its (international) growth strategy.

Elektramat, founded in 2006, is an online electrical wholesaler and specialist in distribution boards and electrical materials. From its headquarters in Enschede, Elektramat’s 400 employees ship custom-made distribution boards and other products within 24 hours to both professional and private customers in the Benelux. Thanks to its distinctive product proposition, wide range of products, and strong online platform, Elektramat has experienced rapid growth and professionalization in recent years. Currently, a second location of 36,000 square meters is being constructed in Almelo. 

There are ambitious plans for the coming years, both for further growth in the Benelux and for expansion beyond it. To facilitate this growth, Elektramat has brought on investment company Parcom as a partner. 

Mike van Klaveren, Managing Director of Elektramat: “Further growth in Belgium, as well as steps towards Germany and even further into Europe, are part of Elektramat’s long-term roadmap. To prepare the company for this and to make the right choices regarding this expansion, including all related aspects, we decided to partner with Parcom. From the beginning, the discussions were open, honest, constructive, and pleasant, all with an entrepreneurial vision. This fits very well with Elektramat. We are therefore very pleased with Parcom’s entry as a co-shareholder and look forward to building an international Elektramat together.” 

Willem-Jan Merckel, Parcom: “We are impressed with the development Elektramat has undergone in recent years and are proud to join as a partner. The unique and differentiating capabilities of Elektramat’s configurators and selection tools, the customer-centric approach, and the technical expertise offer great potential for further growth both domestically and internationally. We look forward to realizing this together with the Elektramat team.” 

The IMAP Netherlands team, led by Dennis van der Linde, was the exclusive financial advisor to Parcom in the acquisition of Elektramat.
