As of May 16, 2025, Polyned has officially become part of the Albers Alligator Group B.V. With this acquisition, we are expanding our activities into the construction, sports, and leisure sectors. By joining forces with Polyned — a specialist in technical textile architecture — we are taking a significant step toward achieving our long-term strategy: broadening our product portfolio and entering new market segments.
Albers Alligator operates in over 40 countries and has been delivering innovative solutions for the storage and covering of water, fertilizers, biogas, and other liquids within the agricultural, horticultural, and industrial sectors for decades. With the addition of Polyned — active since 1972 and known for its high-quality textile constructions — we are extending our capabilities into new areas such as air domes, façade systems, canopies, and the Datex cooling system for data centers.
“Our strategy focuses on diversifying applications and markets,” says Michael van der Windt, CEO of Albers Alligator Group.
“With Polyned, we are adding high-end architectural solutions, cutting-edge technology, and additional engineering capacity to our portfolio.”
The acquisition follows the strategic course set after the management buy-in of Michael van der Windt and Lennard Blijdorp in 2024. Their shared vision — centered around innovation, scaling up, and international growth — aligns seamlessly with Polyned’s strengths. While Polyned, based in Steenwijk, will continue to operate independently, it will benefit from the scale, structure, and international reach of our group.
This partnership brings immediate benefits to both companies. By combining expertise and resources, we open up new opportunities in the areas of:
Operationally, both organizations are well-aligned: project-based, focused on custom solutions, and united by core values such as quality, innovation, and customer focus.
“We deliberately chose a partner with a similar vision and culture,” says Bart Stomphorst, shareholder of Polyned.
“The partnership with Albers Alligator enables us to grow faster without compromising our independence.”
With this acquisition, Albers Alligator takes the next step in its development as a leading group in flexible constructions and technical textile solutions. We look forward to a successful collaboration with Polyned and are confident this partnership will help us realize our shared ambitions.
