Founded 35 years ago by Pierrot Kaesemans, Kaesemans specializes in machining, milling, and turning. This acquisition will enable arabel to expand its existing metalworking capabilities, offering a broader range of services to meet the growing demands of its customers.
As of January 2025, Kaesemans’ operations will be fully integrated into arabel, with all equipment and processes moving to arabel’s headquarters in Itterbeek. This move will strengthen arabel’s position as a comprehensive provider of metalworking services, allowing it to offer even more tailored solutions to its clients.
Pierrot Kaesemans, founder of Kaesemans, commented:
“Both of our companies are a perfect fit. We share the same values, the same attention to quality and detail, and above all, a passion for craftsmanship. I am confident that the integration of Kaesemans into arabel will be seamless, and I have been impressed by the team and the company. This is the best move for both our businesses.”
Christian Onselaere, CEO of arabel, added:
“The metalworking solutions that Kaesemans brings are a valuable addition to our existing offerings and address a clear need expressed by our customers to expand our metalworking capabilities. Kaesemans brings decades of expertise and experience, which will allow us to further enhance our services. Additionally, the cultures of both companies align perfectly, and we anticipate significant benefits from this collaboration.”
