Royal Huisman Group acquired by investment firm

Royal Huisman Group has been acquired by Dutch investment firm O2 Capital Partners.

The Royal Huisman Group management team will remain unchanged as the shipbuilder celebrates its 140th anniversary and continues to fulfil its current orderbook.

“We are delighted to become part of the rich heritage of Royal Huisman Group,” said Philip Sluiter, owner of O2 Capital Partners. “Our goal is to further build on the current healthy foundation and invest in the future of this iconic company for the long term. We recognize the potential in the combination of craftsmanship and innovation that characterises Royal Huisman Group.”

The acquisition is expected to close in August 2024 and will bring to a close the involvement of current shareholders Koninklijke Doeksen and Parcom who will now support the transition to O2 Capital Partners.

With the arrival of O2 Capital Partners, we have found a new investor who shares our values and passion.
