Dehaco

Background

Dehaco was a specialist supplier to the demolition, recycling, and asbestos remediation industry. The company, headquartered in Lisserbroek, operated multiple locations across the Netherlands and was regarded as one of the market leaders in the Benelux. Dehaco was particularly known for its extensive range of asbestos remediation products, hydraulic attachments, and dust control solutions for the demolition sector. Following financial difficulties, the company was declared bankrupt.

Equipment highlights

The transaction included a substantial rental fleet comprising HYRAX compaction plates, hydraulic demolition hammers, DEHACO rotating crushers, DEHACO demolition and sorting grabs and scrap and concrete shears.

In addition, the complete office and company inventory was included featuring high-quality infrastructure and logistics assets such as a Wolf shear-lift bridge, racking systems and internal transport equipment. With brands like; MORA and TOYOTA, stackers and reach trucks from JUNGHEINRICH and LINDE, as well as company vehicles and trailers from MERCEDES-BENZ, IVECO, and IFOR WILLIAMS.

Transaction

Following the bankruptcy, a structured asset sale process was initiated in close cooperation with the court-appointed trustee and other stakeholders. By consolidating all assets into a single, coordinated sales trajectory, clarity and momentum were created for all parties involved. This approach enabled interested buyers to gain a complete and transparent overview of the available assets, while ensuring continuity, control, and efficient decision-making throughout the process. PIPM made the best offer and bought all movable assets.

Procedure

A controlled and transparent sales process was initiated, targeting both national and international buyers active in the demolition, recycling, and construction equipment markets. Through a combination of direct buyer outreach and asset-specific marketing, PIPM successfully facilitated negotiations and coordinated the logistics and contractual aspects of the transaction.

Result

The collaborative approach resulted in a successful sale of all assets within the agreed timeframe. The orderly handover was completed in accordance with prior agreements and to the satisfaction of both the court-appointed trustee and the property owner. By working together in a single, well-organized process, operational disruption was minimized and all stakeholders benefited from a clear and reliable outcome.
