SecurityXpert and Met WA Beveiliging Join Forces to Form a Specialized Healthcare Security group

IJsselstein, April 9, 2026 – Investment company Karmijn has acquired SecurityXpert. Following this acquisition, the security company will join forces with Met WA Beveiliging under Curantis Veiligheidsgroep, a newly established group of specialized security companies focused on the healthcare sector. The transaction was facilitated by M&A advisor Marktlink

The collaboration is aimed at bringing together specialized companies in healthcare security, with the goal of further
deepening and scaling expertise, capacity, and service offerings. SecurityXpert and Met WA Beveiliging will continue
to operate under their own names while collaborating in the areas of training, knowledge sharing, and operational
support. The strategy focuses on both organic growth and expansion through targeted acquisitions.
SecurityXpert was founded in 1997 by Conrad van Tuijl and has grown into a security organization with
approximately 60 security officers, based in IJsselstein. The company specializes in healthcare security and related
services, including static guarding, event security, and traffic coordination. With a strong regional presence in the
central Netherlands, SecurityXpert has in-depth knowledge of healthcare institutions and their environments. With
clients such as the Diakonessenhuis and Kwintes, the company has established a strong market position.

Specialized Group
The combination of Met WA Beveiliging and SecurityXpert creates a group with complementary expertise and
broader operational coverage within the healthcare sector. Jasper Kamman, Managing Director of Met WA
Beveiliging: “The increasing complexity of healthcare security requires specific expertise and a different approach
compared to traditional security services. By bringing SecurityXpert and Met WA together within Curantis, we can
further develop and scale this knowledge. This enables us to better support healthcare institutions with solutions
that align with day-to-day practice.”

The collaboration aligns with the investment strategy of Karmijn Kapitaal, which focuses on building a specialized
security group. Cilian Jansen Verplanke, Partner at Karmijn Kapitaal: “The demand for specialized security services
within the healthcare sector continues to grow. SecurityXpert has a strong regional position and an approach that
closely aligns with the day-to-day practice of healthcare institutions. With our earlier investment in Met WA
Beveiliging, we took a first step; with SecurityXpert, we are building on this foundation and strengthening our
position in the central Netherlands. Both organizations complement each other well and form a solid basis for
further growth.”

Continuity and Growth Perspective
SecurityXpert was looking for a partner that respects the company’s identity while also providing room for further
development. Conrad van Tuijl, founder of SecurityXpert: “We have built an organization that is closely aligned with
the day-to-day practice of healthcare and is available to our clients 24/7. Through this partnership, we can further
develop our services while preserving our way of working. For both employees and clients, this means continuity,
with additional opportunities for growth.”
Marktlink supported SecurityXpert throughout the process, up to and including the completion of the acquisition
and the subsequent partnership. Lars de Ruiter, on behalf of Marktlink: “The initial request from the shareholders
was driven by succession planning. With the involvement of two of Van Tuijl’s sons, this created an opportunity to
jointly consider the future of SecurityXpert, where a strategic opportunity quickly became apparent. SecurityXpert is
a distinctive player within a rapidly developing segment. Scale and specialization are becoming increasingly
important, while the demand for security services in healthcare environments continues to grow. After the company
was carefully prepared for sale, this ultimately led to the acquisition by Karmijn and the partnership with Met WA
Beveiliging. This adds a strong regional player that fits well within Karmijn’s buy-and-build strategy.”
