A partner who recognizes and strengthens this importance is essential.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1616154473764{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]\n<div class=\"shortcode-video-block\">\n    <div class=\"shortcode-video-block__inner-container\">\n        <div class=\"row content-container--top full-width\"\n             data-background-color=\"dark-blue\"\n        >\n            <div class=\"col col--tablet-landscape-8\/12 offset-2\">\n                <div class=\"shortcode-video-block__title\">Taking over a family business is something VADO does better than anyone else<\/div>\n                <div class=\"shortcode-video-block__content\">Coming from a practical background we understand the responsibility you have as a company for your employees, suppliers and customers. This shared value creates a mutual bond when it comes to taking over a family business. The emotions involved in the acquisition process can be difficult. At VADO we understand this because we are a family business ourselves. This mutual understanding is reflected in our approach: personal, sustainable and efficient.<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col col--1\">\n                <div class=\"shortcode-video-block__video\"\n                     data-background-color=\"dark-blue\"\n                >\n                    <div class=\"shortcode-video-block__placeholder\">\n                                                                            <picture class=\"shortcode-video-block__video-container\">\n                                <source srcset=\"https:\/\/vado.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Lacom-Smile-21-11-17144843-light-1200x600.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\"\/>\n                                <source srcset=\"\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\"\/>\n\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"shortcode-video-block__image\"\n                                     src=\"https:\/\/vado.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/Lacom-Smile-21-11-17144843-light-1200x600.jpg\"\n                                     alt=\"video-Taking over a family business is something VADO does better than anyone else\"\n                                     loading=\"lazy\"\n                                \/>\n                            <\/picture>\n                        \n                        <div class=\"shortcode-video-block__play-content\">\n                            <div id=\"video-trigger\" class=\"play-button\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                            <video class=\"shortcode-video-block__source\" controls>\n                            <source src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/external\/576703567.hd.mp4?s=738fc259cd9fc908ece10b3d8271cfc89c3295ef&amp;profile_id=175\" type=\"video\/mp4\">\n                        <\/video>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"row content-container--bottom\">\n            <div class=\"col col--tablet-landscape-8\/12 offset-2\">\n                <div class=\"shortcode-video-block__title\">Watch the video here: Lacom, Doing business with VADO<\/div>\n                <div class=\"shortcode-video-block__content\"><\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_stretch=&#8221;stretch-row&#8221; margin_bottom=&#8221;&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;dark-blue&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1589180223727{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;8\/12&#8243; margin_top=&#8221;80&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;80&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1589182062085{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text margin_top=&#8221;40&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;40&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643821187072{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The family business as a central starting point<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taking over a family business is done step by step, together with the entrepreneur. If there is a potential takeover candidate in sight, we look to see if there is a match. A significant factor here is the introduction process. Everything necessary for a fruitful collaboration is carefully considered. An important part of this is a good feeling with both parties and how the company fits within the VADO portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some acquisition candidates are well suited to grow healthily as a stand alone company. A successful example of this is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vado.nl\/en\/companies\/verhoeven\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Verhoeven<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, specialist in complex product handling and transport systems. We do not focus on short term results, but on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/vado.nl\/en\/working-approach\/long-term-investor\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">long term strategy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. This is how we achieve healthy and sustainable growth.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row margin_top=&#8221;80&#8243; margin_bottom=&#8221;80&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1589179850711{margin-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;8\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Company takeovers through trust lead to success\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">From our own history, we have a natural bond with the (manufacturing) industry and with family businesses. It is one of the main reasons that we enjoy investing in these kinds of beautiful, technical companies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A good example of a successful acquisition is LACOM. In 2019, the activities of Kluitmans and TCE were integrated within Lacom Cranes &amp; Services at the end of 2019. Due to VADO&#8217;s quick action, it was possible to realize the production and sale of an own line of mobile truck-mounted cranes within 4 months. A good example of real entrepreneurship where our investment company offers added value.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A family business takeover starts at VADO<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Would you like to know more about the possibilities that we offer regarding company takeovers within family businesses?
