Roompot Vakanties is acquired by the French private equity firm PAI Partners. Both parties recently agreed upon this. The acquisition enables Roompot to further grow into a provider of quality recreational accommodations and accelerate the implementation of their future plans.
PAI Partners will acquire Roompot from Gilde Buy Out Partners, BNP Paribas Fortis, the current management of Roompot and the founder Henk van Koeveringe. The selling price is confidential and will not be made public, but is in conformity with market standards.
“The acquisition is in line with both our ambitions and financial aspirations,” says CEO Jurgen van Cutsem. "We already are the largest player in the recreational sector in the Netherlands. The goal now is to improve the quality of our parks and other accommodations, something we already started several years ago. Next to this, we are planning to expand and strengthen our current position by strategic acquisitions and the redevelopment of our current coastal locations.”
Currently, Roompot is mainly active in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France. The focus of the company, which is originally from the Dutch region Zeeland, will remain on coastal recreational parks.
The acquisition only presents positive consequences for the guests and employees of Roompot Vakanties. After the acquisition, the workforce will be expanded in strategic locations. The new owner has also agreed that the current management will remain with Roompot for at least the following five years.
