The story behind the sale of HQ Pack
Read the interview with Ronald van Rijn and Thomas van Amerongen by Consultancy.nl, about their guidance on the sale HQ Pack, an important link in the ecosystem around ASML. They give a nice insight into a boisterously growing high-tech world full of politics, state-of-the-art cleanrooms and 50,000 euro packaging.
Ronald van Rijn: "The sale of HQ Pack should really be seen as a 'cornerstone deal' to become part of the ASML ecosystem. Because of its role on the world stage, ASML is growing so fast, and suppliers have to keep up with that growth. Under the wings of NPM Capital, HQ Pack is able to do just that."

Healthcare Monitor 2023: Healthcare mergers and acquisitions
Every year, our Healthcare team examines all notifiable healthcare transactions. The latest Healthcare Monitor includes all transactions between 2019 and 2022 and provides insights into the share of private equity, strategic players and foreign investors, among others. In addition, it shows who the key players are in each segment.
The publication of the most complete overview of mergers and acquisitions/participations in the Dutch healthcare sector caused a stir, due to the growing share of private equity parties.
Het Financiële Dagblad wrote two articles with interviews by Caspar van der Geest.
You can read them below.
FD: Private equity buys hundreds of healthcare providers, time for more (oversight)?
The rise of private equity in Dutch healthcare is undeniable, but also shrouded in mists. Figures are limited and many acquisitions go under the radar, leaving little visibility on the impact.
Caspar van der Geest: "At the sector level, it is striking that things are going fast in oral care in particular. Fourteen chains with an active acquisition strategy own some 500 practices, out of more than 4,000 in the Netherlands. Half of the recent acquisitions are due to private equity, and I expect further consolidation."
FD: Physical therapist and dentist increasingly owned by private equity
Investment companies have made at least 350 acquisitions of Dutch healthcare providers such as dentists, general practitioners and physiotherapists in the last four years. This makes private equity account for more than half of the transactions in the sector. In 2019 they still did 82 deals, last year there were 103. This steady increase is shown in a report by consulting firm JBR.
Caspar van der Geest: "The end is not yet in sight. I see this continuing for years to come, we are in the middle of it now. There is going to be a huge consolidation among independent clinics and laboratories, for example. And many practicing GPs are retiring, cannot find a successor and will therefore opt to sell. Another factor in family medicine is that running your own practice is becoming increasingly complicated and burdensome."
Quality: Doing what we promise and continuously working on craftsmanship
Recently, ISO (process) and ACP (substantive consulting) certification were renewed again by an audit by CIIO. This certification provides an externally assessed quality guarantee for our clients. The combination of both certifications not only has practical advantages, but is also in line with our way of working in which we not only do what we promise and have our processes in order, but also continuously work on our craftsmanship.
Iemke Imhof explains: "It is special to experience how CIIO unites both perspectives. CIIO not only tests whether we do what we promise our clients, but also looks at the competencies of our advisors and our learning ability. We notice that the focus during the audit is therefore more on the future:"
