Protegrity Advisors (USA) and IRIS Corporate Finance (Netherlands) Lead SRBA Group’s Cross-Border Acquisition of Majority Stake in U.S.-Based Corporate Construction Inc.
IRIS Corporate Finance BV, headquartered in the Netherlands, and Protegrity Advisors, based in the United States, have teamed up to represent SRBA Group in its majority interest acquisition of Corporate Construction Inc.
SRBA Group is a leading Dutch provider of controlled environment facilities, and its main office is in Tilburg. Established in 2023 through the merger of Brecon Cleanroom Systems and Muller Afbouw Group, it has prioritized international expansion of its Controlled Environment division. Corporate Construction Inc., located in Brookfield, Connecticut, has been an industry leader in complex and large-scale commercial construction projects, specializing in clean rooms, laboratories, industrial manufacturing, and medical facilities for 25 years.
Wim van Ree, SRBA Group CFO responsible for M&A activities, said that “this acquisition is a perfect fit for our strategic vision and will benefit our mutual customer bases on both sides of the ocean.” He added that “we could not have completed this type of complex cross-border transaction without the joint efforts of IRIS Corporate Finance and Protegrity Advisors, who played critical roles throughout the process, including the arranging of transaction financing, managing due diligence, negotiating key deal terms, and so much more.”
IRIS Corporate Finance partner Jan-Willem Ditters stated that “we knew that to serve SRBA Group best and have the best chance of a successful outcome, it would be essential to have an extension of our team on the ground in the States. We are fortunate to have Protegrity Advisors as a partner.” Mark Pollack, President of Protegrity Advisors, echoed that sentiment and added, “It was an honor for us to work with IRIS and SRBA. We also look forward to working with them both on future transactions.”
