Bergeijk/Zeist, February 24, 2023
Cleanroom Combination Group (CCG), a specialist in designing, building, and maintaining high-quality cleanrooms, has partnered with Craft Capital to embark on the next phase of its growth journey. CCG, based in Bergeijk, offers a wide range of cleanroom-related services, positioning itself as a ‘one-stop-shop’ for its clients. Focusing on the high-end market segment, CCG serves a diverse customer base across several rapidly growing industries: healthcare, pharmaceuticals/biotech, high-tech industries, and laboratories.
New Growth Phase
Gerrit Bakker, Managing Director of CCG, stated: “For the past 20 years, we have been dedicated to establishing CCG as a leading player in the high-end cleanroom market. Now that CCG is on the cusp of a new growth phase, we sought a financial partner who could add value and guide us through this process. We are very excited to have found such a partner in Craft Capital, who not only shares the same values as CCG but also brings an entrepreneurial background that complements our team in many areas.” As of February 23, 2023, Craft Capital has acquired a majority stake in CCG, with ING co-financing the partnership. The management team will also hold shares in CCG. Gerrit has handed over day-to-day management to Michiel van Kooten (CEO) and Walter van Giersbergen (CFO). Gerrit will remain involved as a strategic advisor and shareholder.

We are highly impressed by the management and the progress CCG has made in recent years. We strongly believe that, given the positive underlying market trends in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and high-tech industries, there are many opportunities for CCG to continue growing in the coming years. We look forward to supporting CCG in this journey over the next few years.” Michiel van Kooten (CEO) added: “I am very pleased with Craft Capital joining as a partner of CCG.
