Leolux is joining forces with investors to strengthen its brand position
Leolux Furniture Group has entered into an agreement with the development company LIOF as an investor and strategic partner. The Venlo-based brand aims to further professionalize its operations and strengthen its position. With the addition of LIOF and new investments from existing shareholders Particon and Cabane, Leolux can tap into the expertise and resources needed to future-proof the company.
The market for premium design brands has been under pressure for quite some time. Leolux has made a conscious decision not to wait and see, but to take steps to strengthen its brand position. Together with its existing shareholders, Leolux has spent the past few months exploring whether LIOF, as a new partner, could contribute to this effort, with the goal of taking steps in the short term in the areas of customer focus and digital transformation.
Strategic Partner
Following a careful process, an agreement has now been reached, officially bringing LIOF on board as a partner. Leolux’s management team, consisting of Margriet van Zijl and Mathijs van der Zwaluw, is pleased to welcome the Limburg-based investor.
Margriet van Zijl: “In LIOF, we have found a new partner that recognizes Leolux’s value and potential and takes a constructive yet critical look at the existing organization. With their support, we look forward to taking the right, necessary steps in the short term to strengthen Leolux.”
Investor LIOF conducted a thorough investigation of the Limburg-based furniture brand and quickly recognized its potential. Willem van Esch, investment manager at LIOF: “Leolux is a strong brand with a rich history and deep roots in the region. At the same time, the company operates in a challenging market where standing still is not an option. Together with management and the existing shareholders, we want to build a future-proof organization and realize the next phase of growth.”
Streamlining Processes
Together with LIOF and the existing shareholders, Leolux has also taken a critical look at how the company could organize its existing processes more effectively and efficiently. Flexibility and continuity are the most important criteria in this regard. The first steps toward achieving this future-proofing have already been taken. The downside is that the company must part ways with a number of employees in production, but they can count on full support as they move toward the next step in their careers.
