Nivora completes successful takeover of Bewo
Nivora Holding BV, the Netherlands, has acquired the activities of Bewo BV, based
in Tilburg, the Netherlands. Bewo has been in operation for many decades on an
international scale in the field of metal tube cutting systems.
The Dutch based company Safan BV in Lochem is also part of Nivora
Holding BV and has an excellent reputation as a worldwide manufacturer of high
quality and innovative sheet-metal working machines. Safan has a very solid financial
backing with a successful track-record and operations/branches in the Netherlands, UK,
Germany and Asia.
Nivora Holding financed this 100 per cent acquisition including the working capital by
its own financial means. As Safan and Bewo are serving customers in similar and/or
complementary markets, occasionally also operating through the same agents and/or
distributors, these and other synergies between Bewo and Safan will be strengthened.
The name of the new company is Bewo Cutting Systems BV. The company will continue
with its former activities, which include the manufacture of its existing range of metal
tube sawing machines and systems – both the standard devices (CPO machines), and
the speciality machines (tailor made and customized sawing and cutting solutions).
The company’s staff is focused on restructuring and preparing the organisation for
the near future, placing emphasis on marketing, production, product development,
engineering and logistics. Bewo will continue to provide the market with high quality
machines and services, achieved through proactive organisation and existing
professionals and experts.
