VHZ Groep

gilde-equity-management-vhz-groep

VHZ Group (VHZ) is the market leader in the production of sustainable window frame solutions for both new-build and renovation homes. The name stands for Vereenigde Havezate, meaning “a fortified house.” This immediately reflects the company’s mission: to make buildings stronger, more sustainable, and future-proof with the most eco-friendly UPVC window frames.

The companies within VHZ are all renowned quality brands in their respective fields. Kumij (Groningen), Europrovyl (Leeuwarden), Transcarbo (Hoensbroek), Smits Kozijnen (Gemert), Alwood (Terborg), Kozijn Service Nederland (Wassenaar), and Smits Isolatieglas (Gemert) each have their own specializations and together focus on sustainable window frame solutions for both new construction and renovation projects.

With decades of experience and in-depth market knowledge, these companies have become trusted partners for construction companies, housing associations, and private clients. From production to installation and maintenance, the companies within VHZ provide high-quality plastic window frames and complementary services that meet a wide range of customer needs. Safety, quality, sustainability, and innovation are always at the core of their operations.

In 2021, Gilde was welcomed as a shareholder of VHZ through a management buyout. Together with the management team, VHZ has entered its next growth phase, aiming to further strengthen its market position and accelerate its growth ambitions.
