Royal Apollo Group joins Interroll Holding AG

Royal Apollo Group, a Netherlands-based provider of vertical conveying, logistic and baling solutions, today announced that it has been acquired by Interroll Holding AG, a global leader and provider of material handling solutions. The transaction, which signed and closed simultaneously on May 7, 2026, marks a defining milestone in Royal Apollo’s nearly 180-year history and opens a new chapter of global growth.

By joining Interroll, Royal Apollo gains immediate access to a substantially broader global network than it could not have established independently. Interroll’s presence across international markets and verticals, combined with its established infrastructure for lifecycle services, creates a platform from which Royal Apollo’s technology can reach customers and system integrators worldwide who would previously have been beyond the company’s direct reach.

I’m excited to share that Royal Apollo Group is joining Interroll. This is a big move and a carefully made decision that marks the next chapter in our 6^th generation family business. It gives us access to Interroll’s much wider global network, an opportunity we would not have had if we remained independent.

Our products and services complement Interroll’s offering well, and together we will combine our strengths to align product development, operations, and go-to-market activities over time. This new chapter is something I’m very proud and excited about.

Claudia van den Pol, CEO and Owner of Royal Apollo Group.

The acquisition brings a strategically complementary fit. Interroll’s conveying portfolio, augmented by Royal Apollo’s spiral conveyor technology, creates a more complete offering in the vertical conveying market while strengthening lifecycle services and spare parts capabilities for customers globally.

The two businesses will work to integrate product development, operations, and go-to-market activities over time, with a focus on making Royal Apollo Group’s product range accessible to Interroll’s existing customers and system integrators, as well as new customers across markets where Interroll already operates.

With this acquisition, we add Royal Apollo Group’s spiral conveyor technology to Interroll’s conveying portfolio, closing a gap in our offering and strengthening our lifecycle services and spare parts business. The businesses are complementary, and we will focus on integration and making this product range available to our customers and system integrators worldwide as well as new customers that we will be able to reach thanks to this move.

Markus Asch, CEO of Interroll.

Royal Apollo as a company will remain, including the team, product quality, and commitment to customer relationships. Claudia van den Pol also remains the CEO of the company. For Royal Apollo the key improvement lies in the depth and geographic reach of the service and spare parts infrastructure behind the products, driven by Interroll’s Global Lifetime Service capabilities.
