• Agreement to acquire Louwman Group’s care business signed today
• The care business provides mobility-related aids and assistive devices as well as services across five business units in the Netherlands
• It generated €149.1m in revenue in FY2024 and today employs 715 people

Amsterdam/Luxembourg, November 13, 2025 – AURELIUS Private Equity Mid‑Market Buyout has today signed an agreement to acquire the Care Division of family‑owned Dutch company Louwman Group.

Comprising five units, the business provides mobility aids, home adaptations and vehicle modifications for people with mobility challenges. It serves municipalities, care offices and institutions, as well as private individuals, through tender‑based, multi‑year contracts and leasing models across the Netherlands.

AURELIUS is buying a resilient platform with a strong nationwide footprint and solid operational foundations, with clear opportunities to build on these strengths by further enhancing procurement capabilities and optimising the operating model. Working with management, AURELIUS’ operations team WaterRise plans to build out the range of services that the Care Division offers to its customers and improve service delivery, while supporting a smooth carve‑out and transition with particular attention to business continuity and IT separation readiness.

Fabian Steger, Managing Director AURELIUS Funds IV and V, says: “This transaction marks our fourth deal in short order, demonstrating AURELIUS’ global scale: over the course of this year, we have executed transactions through our teams in New York, London, Milan, Munich and Amsterdam. Louwman Group’s care business is a high‑quality platform serving a critical need, which we plan to help turn into a strong standalone organisation that helps people live more independently.”

Gilles van Kooten, Managing Director Benelux at AURELIUS Investment Advisory, says: “We are proud to lead this transaction from AURELIUS’ Amsterdam office. Louwman Group’s Care business serves a vital need across the Netherlands, and we see strong potential to support management in driving efficiencies and elevating operational performance, while continuing to deliver high-quality service. We are ready to support the business to deliver this service as well as sustainable, profitable growth.”

The transaction is subject to advice by relevant works councils, as well as customary regulatory approvals and other closing conditions. It is expected to close by the end of this year or early next year.

AURELIUS was advised by Livingstone (M&A), Van Doorne (Legal), and EY (Financial and Tax).
