From Türkiye to Europe: The Rönesans Revival

Acquisition and revitalization of Ballast Nedam is a testament to strategic vision and sustainable growth. By preserving the company’s Dutch identity and reinforcing its foundations, Rönesans transformed it into a leader in green infrastructure and modular housing.

“When we acquired Ballast Nedam, it was a company facing serious financial difficulties,” says İpek Ilıcak Kayaalp, Chair of the Board at Rönesans Holding.

"After the acquisition, we first delisted the company and then introduced the Rönesans approach. We did not alter the company’s core operations; instead, we brought in senior management from our other countries and subsidiaries, all of which were already aligned with the Rönesans culture. We maintained the existing team, restructured the organisation, and successfully made it profitable within three years.”


Driving a Sustainable Future Across the Netherlands

Ballast Nedam, our Netherlands-based group company, is shaping the future of Dutch infrastructure. Through innovation, environmental responsibility, and strategic partnerships, the company is delivering scalable solutions that support national goals—from housing to energy transition.
