Fornet – a modern dry cleaning, laundry, alterations and shoe care concept – has acquired the iconic Stomerij & Wassalon Buitenveldert. An exciting next step in building an international trusted brand in textile care.
After a successful first year at the Zuidas business district in Amsterdam, a growth plan was established. The acquisition of Stomerij & Wassalon Buitenveldert fits perfectly into that picture. It not only allows Fornet to expand its service offerings but also to better serve the local community in Amsterdam Zuid.
Leon Wennekes, co-founder and CEO, is thrilled about the new step: “The acquisition of Stomerij & Wassalon Buitenveldert is a milestone for Fornet’s further development.” The customer portfolio and quality level matched our location at Zuidas, so it’s a perfect match. This buy and build strategy enables us to revitalise the traditional dry cleaning industry in The Netherlands.”
