Takeover of Büschel Connecting Systems
2Connect, the Dutch manufacturer of special cables and connectors, has acquired Büschel Connecting Systems (BCS), thereby continuing its strategic expansion.
2Connect, headquartered in Waalwijk, the Netherlands, specializes in the production of customized connectors used in applications ranging from MRI scanners to agricultural vehicles and smart lighting. BCS, based in Albstadt, Germany, is a manufacturer of high mix - low volume specialty connectors.
Following the acquisition, 2Connect will further strengthen its position in Germany, create synergies and cross-selling opportunities across the group and expand its technology and product portfolio with a view to new adjacent segments.
Marc van der Put, CEO of 2Connect, commented on the acquisition as follows: "The acquisition of Büschel comes at a crucial time for 2Connect as the market for specialty connectivity systems continues to grow and connectivity increases due to automation, miniaturization and digitalization. This investment is an important next step in our growth strategy and will enable us to increase our market share in Germany and beyond."
