Amsterdam, Ede/Rhenen, March 25, 2026 – Our portfolio company Medexs/Van Vliet Healthcare Group, a provider of comprehensive solutions for the medical sector, is acquiring Laméris, a specialist in medical solutions for eye clinics. Through this partnership, medical professionals in ophthalmology and ENT (ear, nose, and throat) can now rely on a single point of contact for the entire chain: from initial construction drawings and the realization of medical spaces to the supply of high-quality equipment and medical consumables.

Laméris has traditionally been known as a comprehensive supplier of medical products, such as diagnostic equipment, surgical instruments, and consumables for ophthalmology. The collaboration with Medexs adds an essential discipline: the construction of the clinic itself. Moreover, with Van Vliet Healthcare as part of the group, a comprehensive package of medical capital goods and disposables can be offered.

“With this collaboration, we can now build the facility itself in addition to providing the interior design,” says Gerald Klein Woolthuis, Managing Director at Laméris. “This means we can ensure that the interior design seamlessly aligns with the construction, including the equipment and IT infrastructure.”

Jos Lans, CEO of Medexs: “The combination of Laméris and Medexs’ disciplines leads to a significant optimization of the construction and interior design process. By sharing knowledge at an early stage, we prevent errors upfront. This results in an approach that is not only faster and more efficient, but ultimately also more cost-effective.”

In the modern healthcare sector, sustainability is a crucial theme. Thanks to Medexs’ expertise in modular and circular construction, and its in-depth knowledge of energy-efficient ventilation systems, the collaboration offers direct access to knowledge and solutions for the sustainable development of medical spaces.

About Holland Capital

Holland Capital has been investing in promising Dutch and German SMEs with growth ambitions for over 40 years. The firm works closely with management teams to achieve sustainable growth and focuses on Healthcare and Technology through specialized sector teams. Holland Capital has offices in Amsterdam and Düsseldorf.

Amsterdam, Zwolle, March 19, 2026 – Software company Sibi has secured an investment from Holland Capital and regional development agency Oost NL. With this financial boost, the company aims to further develop and scale its software to help healthcare organizations better support and retain their employees.

Demographic pressure calls for new solutions

Due to double ageing, the demand for healthcare is rising rapidly, while the number of healthcare professionals is under increasing pressure. According to figures from Statistics Netherlands (CBS), the Netherlands now has more people aged 65 and over than individuals under the age of 20. By 2040, the share of the working-age population (approximately 20–67 years) is expected to decline to around 55–60% of the total population, while the number of elderly continues to grow. For the healthcare sector, this translates into structural staff shortages, increased workload, and growing complexity of care. Technology can help, but only if it aligns with the needs of those delivering care on a daily basis.

The employee as capital in healthcare

While many healthcare innovations focus on patients or care processes, Sibi takes a different approach: placing the employee at the center of the healthcare system. Sibi develops software that supports healthcare organizations throughout the entire employee journey, from onboarding and social intranet to employee engagement surveys and offboarding.

Lennard Veldwijk, founder and owner of Sibi:“Our mission is for healthcare professionals to experience job satisfaction, so that healthcare in the Netherlands remains accessible to everyone. By providing the right attention at the right moments, we strengthen the position of employees and contribute to their sense of ownership, autonomy, and job satisfaction. This is not a ‘soft’ topic, but the foundation of sustainable healthcare.”

Aligned with healthcare transitions

Sibi’s software responds to broader transitions in healthcare, such as the growth of informal care, where family caregivers and volunteers play an increasingly important role. Adoption is also critical in the implementation of healthcare technology: new systems often fail not technically, but in usage. By integrating onboarding, training, and feedback into one platform, Sibi increases the adoption of digital healthcare solutions.

In addition, the platform contributes to sustainable employability. By continuously providing insights into employee experience and engagement, organizations can take timely action, reduce absenteeism, and retain talent. Team leaders are supported with data-driven insights and predictive models that help identify absenteeism and turnover at an early stage.

Investment to accelerate growth

With the investment from Holland Capital and Oost NL, Sibi will further develop its platform and expand its reach among healthcare organizations. Veldwijk: “For Sibi, this investment primarily means the opportunity to accelerate the realization of our mission.”

Sterre Witteveen, Investment Manager Holland Capital “Sibi addresses one of the healthcare sector’s greatest challenges: supporting and retaining healthcare professionals. By putting employees at the heart of its platform, the company plays an important role in building a more sustainable and future-proof healthcare system.”

About Sibi

Sibi, based in Zwolle, develops software for healthcare organizations that supports the entire employee journey, from onboarding to offboarding. The platform helps organizations better support their employees, increase engagement, and improve sustainable employability.

Düsseldorf (DE) / Ahrensburg (DE) / Oosterhout (NL) / Ahmedabad (IN) – March 17th, 2026 – When a newspaper press stops mid-run or a parcel sorter goes down during peak season, every minute of downtime translates directly into lost revenue. The EAE Group (EAE), consisting of the companies EAE, Q.I. Press Controls and EAE Solutions, develops mission-critical software, vision and control systems that keep these complex industrial environments running. Holland Capital is investing in EAE as a platform to build a leading international group in industrial automation, marking the start of an ambitious growth strategy led by Holland Capital’s dedicated DACH team.

Mission-critical expertise with a 64-year heritage

Founded 64 years ago in Ahrensburg, Germany, EAE established itself as the global leader in automation for web offset printing presses, developing software, camera and control systems that keep the world’s largest newspaper and magazine groups running. Its solutions are deeply embedded in production environments where reliability is everything and downtime is simply not an option. A key differentiator is EAE’s highly advanced software solutions, supported by its retrofit capability. This enables customers to modernise existing installations through software, controls and camera system upgrades, lowering investment thresholds while delivering significant performance gains.

In addition, EAE identified similar demands in the intralogistics market and expanded into delivering turnkey, high-capacity sorting systems, integrating in-house developed software and controls, and mechanical infrastructure into a single, end-to-end solution. Today, its technology forms the intelligent backbone of leading sorting centers, supporting a global client base.

A market at an inflection point 

The investment comes at a pivotal moment for both of EAE’s end markets. In the graphics sector, a large installed base of aging printing presses creates significant upgrade potential. At the same time, sustained e-commerce growth is driving continued expansion of sorting capacity world-wide. In both markets, performance improvements increasingly depends on upgrading the intelligence layer, software, controls and vision systems.

Building a global platform 

Together with Holland Capital as an active strategic partner, EAE will accelerate its growth by investing in innovation, expanding its footprint and pursuing targeted acquisitions worldwide.

Tom van Holten, Managing Director, EAE: “This partnership with Holland Capital enables us to accelerate our growth ambitions and further strengthen our position as a trusted automation partner globally.”

Laurens Platteeuw, Investment Director and Head of DACH at Holland Capital: “EAE combines German engineering excellence with modern software capability in truly mission-critical environments. With growing demand for intelligent upgrades in both intralogistics and printing, we see a clear opportunity to build a leading international automation platform from this strong foundation.”

 New leadership 

As part of this new phase, founders Erik van Holten and Menno Jansen will step back from day-to-day operations. Tom van Holten, who brings more than ten years of experience in the intralogistics sector, will assume the role of Group CEO. 

Supported by an experienced management team, he will lead the company’s strategic and operational development going forward. The founders will remain closely involved as shareholders and strategic advisers, ensuring that their extensive market knowledge and technical expertise remain firmly embedded within the organisation and continue to support its long-term growth. 

About EAE

EAE is an international provider of software, camera and control systems for web offset printing presses and a global integrator with advanced software solutions for the intralogistics market. The company serves a customer base that includes leading printing groups and logistics operators globally. To supports its customers, EAE holds offices in Germany, the Netherlands, India, Spain, and the United States, and is furthermore supported by a network of agencies and service partners.

Amsterdam – March 12th, 2026 – Holland Capital has invested in HuisartsenHulp and CareAbout, both specialists in workforce solutions for primary care. The combination creates an organisation that broadly supports general practitioner practices, GP out-of-hours services, pharmacies and other primary care providers with both temporary and structural staffing needs and supporting services.
