D\u00fcsseldorf (DE) \/ Ahrensburg (DE) \/ Oosterhout (NL) \/ Ahmedabad (IN) \u2013 March 17<\/span>th, 2026<\/span> \u2013 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\u2019s dedicated DACH team.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mission-critical expertise with a 64-year heritage<\/span>
<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

A market at an inflection point\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The investment comes at a pivotal moment for both of EAE\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Building a global platform\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Tom van Holten<\/a><\/span>, Managing Director, EAE: \u201cThis partnership with Holland Capital enables us to accelerate our growth ambitions and further strengthen our position as a trusted automation partner globally.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Laurens Platteeuw<\/a><\/span>, Investment Director and Head of DACH at Holland Capital: \u201cEAE 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u202f<\/span>New leadership<\/b><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of this new phase, founders Erik van Holten<\/a><\/span> and Menno Jansen<\/a><\/span> 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.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Supported by an experienced management team, he will lead the company\u2019s strategic and operational development going forward. The founders will remain\u00a0closely involved\u00a0as shareholders and strategic advisers, ensuring that their extensive market knowledge and technical\u00a0expertise\u00a0remain firmly embedded within the organisation and continue to support its long-term growth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
