We are pleased to announce the successful repurchase of all outstanding shares held by external investors, returning the company to full independent ownership. The transaction marks a significant milestone in Cboost’s development and paved the way for the launch of the Cboost Group, a new structure designed to accelerate innovation, expand market reach, and support the development of scalable technology businesses.
A new chapter: the launch of Cboost Group
The formation of Cboost Group represents the third phase of the company’s long-term strategic vision.
At the core of the group is Cboost Engineering, which will continue to develop and deliver advanced industrial automation solutions with a strong focus on Physical AI, including intelligent visual inspection systems and flexible handling.
Alongside its engineering activities, Cboost Group will establish a series of dedicated innovation ventures, each focused on developing breakthrough products that address unmet needs in the market. By combining the expertise, customer relationships, and technical capabilities of its engineering business with the agility of focused product companies, Cboost aims to accelerate the commercialisation of new technologies while creating additional growth opportunities.
“The completion of the share buyback gives us the flexibility to execute our vision on a larger scale,” said Daniël Telgen, CEO of Cboost. “We have always believed that groundbreaking technology should solve real-world challenges. The launch of Cboost Group allows us to pursue that mission through both engineering services and dedicated product ventures that can grow into businesses of their own.“
Appreciation for a valued partnership
As part of this transition, Cboost would like to express its sincere gratitude to TMI Investments and, in particular, Thijs Manders, for their trust, support and commitment throughout the company’s journey.
From the earliest stages of Cboost’s development, TMI Investments played a key role in helping the company establish its foundation and realise its ambitions.
“Thijs Manders and TMI Investments believed in Cboost from day one,” said Telgen. “Their support enabled us to build the company, develop our capabilities, and create the foundation we stand on today. We are deeply grateful for that partnership and proud to continue the journey with their contribution as part of our history.“
“At TMI Investments, we invest in entrepreneurs with vision, ambition, and determination to turn ideas into reality. When we first partnered with Cboost nearly six years ago, Daniël Telgen and his team were already working at the forefront of AI and robotics, long before these technologies became a strategic priority for most companies. Together, we recognised that industrial businesses would eventually need to adapt, automate, and embrace intelligent systems to remain competitive. It has been rewarding to see that vision become reality. We are proud of what the team has built and confident that Cboost is well positioned to lead the next generation of industrial innovation.” said Thijs Manders, Founder of TMI Investments.
Same mission, greater opportunity
While the ownership structure has changed, Cboost’s mission remains unchanged: contribute to the sustainable development of essential industries through high-tech that gives eyes, brains, and hands to systems.
Operating as an independent group enhances the company’s ability to pursue new partnerships, enter additional markets, and bring innovative technologies to market more rapidly.
“Our mission remains exactly the same,” said Dyan Koning, COO of Cboost. “What changes is our ability to execute it. As an independent organisation, we can move faster, collaborate more broadly, and transform promising innovations into impactful products. Cboost Group gives us a platform to create greater value for our customers, partners, and future ventures.”
