ABOUT

​

Markwin Maring (1970), a Dutch born entrepreneur and investor, started his first business in marketing & communications in 1989. In 2000 he co-founded, in close partnership with Dutch private bank MeesPierson, the MeesPierson Informal Opportunity Fund. This private equity fund, which was led by Maring as the Fundmanager, built a portfolio of companies, including the famous Dutch food brands Van Dobben and Kwekkeboom croquetten, Van Dijk Food and the medical imaging activities of Delft Instruments N.V. In 2007 Maring inititiated Concordia Fund, the next private equity fund as the successor of the MeesPierson Fund,  with private bank F. van Lanschot as one of the cornerstone investors. Due to the global financial banking crisis, which started in 2008, banks decreased their balance sheets and the Concordia Fund stopped further investing in 2010.

​

In 2010-2015 Maring shifted from leveraged finance with banks to 100% privately financed and family owned business. Since then Maring (co-)founded different new Dutch companies and activities focussing on medtech and life science, ICT, business services, automotive and web-retail.

​

In 2020 all ownership of the Dutch assets are consolidated in Holland Holdings B.V., which family holding is co-managed by Maring Management B.V.
