European market leader in pre-cast concrete

At the time of exiting, Consolis (“the Company”), formerly Bonna Sabla, was the largest precast concrete based solution provider and manufacturer of structural prefabricated concrete elements in Europe. Consolis has over 47 production plants in around 17 countries with leading positions in their respective markets.

Consolis Group was headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.

In October 2005 Bonna Sabla was acquired by the IK 2004 Fund, in addition to the former Consolis, which was acquired from IK 1994. The new Consolis was formed by combining Consolis Oy Ab and French Bonna Sabla in November 2005. It was then sold to LBO France in March 2007.

Our Value Creation Strategy

During our ownership, we worked alongside the management team to:

  • Improve profitability in mature markets, by systematic development of new markets for pre-cast concrete expansion overseas, particularly in the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, Indonesia and the Indochinese peninsula.
