Customer review with Arnold Bakker DGA Kampen Medical Care about NOM Investment

A major project didn't exactly go according to plan financially, which put us firmly in trouble. We then successfully knocked on NOM's door. At the end of 2012, NOM stepped in and became a co-shareholder.

NOM ensured that Kampen Industrial Care was able to hold its ground during a difficult period. Among other things, they helped us achieve professionalization and make difficult choices. This support contributed to the company ultimately being just as healthy as before. Perhaps even healthier. In the summer of 2023, NOM sold its equity interest and I became 100% DGA again.

NOM has been a co-shareholder for over ten years. During that entire period we worked together in a pleasant way. From the very beginning to the sale of the shares, it was evident from everything that NOM had confidence in a bright future for Kampen Industrial Care. Not without reason did we agree on a good price for both parties.

Yes, no doubt about it. As a financier, co-shareholder and sparring partner, NOM looks beyond just getting a nice return. Even during the credit crisis they dared to step into Kampen Industrial Care. While there was quite a risk involved and banks were reluctant. They want companies to grow or, as in our case, to grow again and thus create value for the economy in the Northern Netherlands. Promising companies can take full advantage of this.
