Q Plus
Q Plus, a specialist in pneumatics and compressed air, is joining Flowtech Group, an internationally operating and publicly listed technical group. The combination strengthens Flowtech’s position in the Benelux and provides Q Plus with the opportunity to enter its next growth phase, while preserving continuity and technical expertise. The transaction was completed in February 2026.
Q Plus: Technical partner with a strong position in the Benelux
Q Plus is a technical partner for customers working with pneumatic and compressed air applications. The company is known for its in-depth expertise, pragmatic approach and its ability to support customers with both technical advice and tailored solutions.
With a team of engineers and technical specialists, Q Plus helps clients optimize processes, increase operational availability and implement reliable solutions for production environments.
Strategic alignment with Flowtech Group and safeguarding continuity
For Flowtech Group, the acquisition of Q Plus fits seamlessly within its strategy to further strengthen its activities in the Benelux and expand scale across Europe. The combination offers synergies in terms of market position, regional coverage and shared capabilities.
Following the transaction, the shareholder will exit the business. The current Managing Director of Q Plus will remain in place and will work closely with Flowtech Group, ensuring that knowledge, experience and day-to-day management are retained. At the same time, Q Plus will benefit from the support, scale and opportunities offered by an international group.
Sale to a publicly listed party with a unique financing structure
A unique aspect of this transaction was that Flowtech Group is publicly listed. This brings a different dynamic compared to a traditional acquisition, both in terms of decision-making and financing options.
During the final phase of the transaction, a structure was chosen in which part of the financing was realized through an equity raise: the issuance of new shares. As a result, closing was not only dependent on the negotiated agreements, but also on the successful placement of these shares. This element made the final phase particularly exciting and required careful structuring and coordination between all parties involved.
Match Plan advises on international and publicly listed transaction
Match Plan advised Q Plus throughout the entire sale process: from valuation and positioning to managing the transaction process and supporting the legal completion. Due to strong interest from the market, the focus was on selecting the party that best aligned with the future vision of Q Plus. Ultimately, this resulted in the selection of a publicly listed international partner, for which Match Plan provided the necessary support.
The deal team consisted of Hans van de Pas, Raymon Kouwenhoven and Matthias Duijzer. Match Plan ensured full support throughout the process and also guided the final stage, where the publicly listed context of the buyer and the equity component imposed additional requirements on the transaction structure and closing process.
