Bencis Buyout Fund IV, a fund managed by Bencis Capital Partners, an independent investment company based in Amsterdam and Brussels has acquired a majority share of BRB Holding B.V., a global producer of silicones, lube oil additives and chemicals. “Within 35 years, BRB has evolved into a global player” says Ralph Pinckaers, Chief Executive Officer of BRB. “Now is the time to move to the next level. We have made strategic investments for both our Silicone and Lube oil Additive businesses, in Malaysia and Singapore respectively. Bencis comes at the perfect moment to help us fuel our further growth. We now can realize manufacturing and product range expansion, extended geographical coverage and new business partnerships, while capitalizing on our identity: Ambition, Flexibility and Innovation. The BRB Silicones business unit produces specialty silicones like emulsions, antifoams, water repellants, silanes, resins, silicone polyethers, vinyl silicones, amino silicones, dimethiconol blends, cross polymers and many more customized products for the silicone industry. The new partnership with Bencis will accelerate the growth in our two core markets for silicones: personal & home care and construction & coating. BRB also supplies a very broad range of superiorly priced core and specialty intermediates to all the silicone industry. Our Lube Oil Additives & Chemicals (LAC) business unit manufactures a full range of Lube oil Additive packages and components to formulate finished lubricants. Our main strengths are in the production and R&D of VII (viscosity index improver) solutions, automotive and industrial gear additives as well as the off road- and engine oil packages. LAC also offers a wide variety of chemical products, such as coolants, screen wash fluids and environmental friendly solutions for the petrochemical cleaning industry. With the support of Bencis, we will strengthen our market presence even further in the automotive, off-road, petrochemical and industrial markets” added Ralph Pinckaers. “At Bencis, we enjoy teaming up with entrepreneurs and management teams in order to support them in implementing their plans. We do so based on a long term strategic vision that keeps the horizon in sight at all times. Company management retains full control however. We at Bencis use our 15 years of experience to facilitate growth via an intelligent, but also highly involved, approach. Through joint consultation, we progress in leaps and bounds and ultimately realize the company’s ambitions” says Lesley van Zutphen, Managing Partner with Bencis Capital Partners B.V.
