About us

Partners in genuine value creation

Bolster Investment Partners is a long-term investor. We partner with Dutch owner-managed and family-owned businesses through minority and majority stakes. We do so with an approach that fits the company’s stage of development and the ambitions of its management team.

The companies in which Bolster invests are highly specialised, often operate on a global scale, and hold a clear leading position in their markets.

Since 1982, we have successfully partnered with more than one hundred businesses. Van Lanschot Kempen participates as a minority investor, investing alongside a select group of (former) entrepreneurs and the Bolster team itself.
