BestValue is pleased to announce the acquisition of Ets. Bernardin by brothers Antoine and Gilles Dumont.
Founded in 1880, Bernardin specializes in the installation and restoration of terrazzo, as well as the polishing of floors, including marble, and concrete. The company serves a highly diverse clientele, working in both B2C and B2B markets, across private and public sectors. Thanks to its strong reputation, its teams frequently undertake projects beyond the Liège province, in Namur, Charleroi, Brussels, and even in Flanders. After leading the company for over 40 years, Jean-Louis Bernardin sought a motivated successor to carry on this family’s four-generation legacy of artisanal expertise.
On the buyer’s side, Antoine and Gilles Dumont decided to combine their complementary experiences, gained respectively at Wikipower and Equans (formerly Engie), to take on this shared entrepreneurial project. Both are driven by their passion for business and working in perfect synergy, their goal is to further propel this niche company to the forefront of the industry. They can also count on the support of their third brother, an architect, who will become a key business contributor in the future.
We are proud to have supported Antoine and Gilles Dumont throughout the entire acquisition process, from valuation to post-closing follow-up.
