Auctio, with Dutch <\/strong>BVA Auctions<\/strong><\/a> as its best known online auction house, and <\/strong>Troostwijk Auctions & Valuations<\/strong><\/a> have announced they will merge to form Europe\u2019s largest online auction platform. \u201cA logical step\u201d, say CEOs Ghislaine Duijmelings (Troostwijk) and Herberth Samsom (Auctio). \u201cWe are merging our technologies, auction expertise and market knowledge. Our buyers will now find even more items that interest them. And our sellers will instantly reach an even larger, more international buying public.\u00a0 Our experts know exactly where to find the right buyers.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

One company, multiple houses<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTechnology, data and marketing are increasingly relevant to auctioning. We are now pooling our expertise and investments into holding company TBAuctions\u201d, says Samsom. \u201cTroostwijk and BVA will continue to be our primary houses. We are a perfect match: together, we have something for every buyer. We take a data-driven approach to determine what house and which channels will allow us to achieve the best result.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe currently auction over 1.5 million items (lots) each year, in over 6,700 auctions. We have offices in 18 countries, and our buyers come from all over the world. Every month, we receive more than 6 million visitors and almost 100 million pageviews. Buying and placing bids securely are major concerns for buyers. We\u2019re an excellent alternative to regular sales channels: that\u2019s because we offer buyers a huge selection along with the thrill of the bidding process.\u201d<\/p>\n

A genuine partner <\/strong><\/p>\n

Duijmelings: \u201cAnother one of our strengths is the personal approach we take towards our partners. For example, we help companies achieve their overarching goals: to be a healthier business, to create space for investing and reinvesting and to become more flexible so they can keep on top of market developments. All of this is easier when you have a trusted partner who helps you capitalize on the value of your assets \u2013 because everything has value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Focus on specific sectors<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company is sharpening its focus on specific industries and growth sectors throughout Europe. To name a few: art and antiques; real estate; agriculture; metalworking; food-processing; construction; infrastructure; logistics and transport. Samsom: \u201cAuctions are still a relatively new way of selling in some countries and industry sectors.\u00a0 We want to reach these sectors and firmly establish auctioning as the ultimate way to sell. Our 350-member team is ready to help them cash in on the value of their assets.\u201d<\/p>\n
