“The acquisition of Nelemans is an excellent fit with our current BMN footprint in the Dutch market thanks to its local presence in the South and West of the Netherlands. Part of this group is also the innovative TegelMegaStore concept which enables us to further expand our rapidly growing tiles competencies. We look very much forward to welcoming the colleagues of Nelemans to the BME Group”, said Remco Teulings, Group CEO of BME.
Nelemans is a family-owned business and has been managed by the third generation of the family since 1993.
