New chapter with the KOKS Group

The acquisition by KOKS Group was a strategic move aimed at combining strengths and expanding market reach. For Doornbos, this means access to more resources, advanced technologies, and a broader network.
The synergy between the two companies is expected to drive significant growth and innovation, benefiting both the business and its customers.

The integration with the KOKS Group has brought new energy and vision, with the commitment to retain the principles that made Doornbos Equipment a trusted name in the industry endures.
The collaboration has already begun to yield positive results, with the introduction of cutting-edge industrial cleaning solutions and enhanced service capabilities.
The combined expertise of Doornbos and KOKS ensures that customers receive the best of both worlds: a rich legacy of quality and the latest innovations in industrial equipment.
