GEM Benelux invests in EV Box
Gilde Equity Management (GEM) Benelux has invested in EV Box, a Dutch producer of charging stations for electric vehicles.
GEM stated it had been looking into the sector for a while due to the Netherlands' market position in charging stations and electric vehicles, as well as the country's recent growth rate in these industries.
The firm plans on supporting EV Box through a consolidation strategy as well as further rolling out its products internationally. EV Box has recently received greater attention from the Asian and US markets, so the company plans on capitalising on this new interest.
The company also intends to expand its product range.
