BICCS and PearlPaint are not strangers to each other. Bierens Bichemie took over Walco Coatings in 1986, from which Bichemie Coatings was created and this became BICCS in 2002 . In 2003 Bichemie Coatings was sold to the PearlPaint Group. After more than seventeen years, Bichemie Coatings and BICCS have now come together in one company and this completes the circle.
Crossminds advised BICCS during the entire sales process. Marco du Pré and Lars van Heeren supervised this transaction.
