Kreisler Import joins Althen Group
September 3, 2026
Kreisler Import B.V. is joining the Althen Group.
This will further strengthen the group’s expertise in electronic components and technical publications. Kreisler will continue to operate as a recognizable and independent organization through its two divisions, Kreisler Components and Kreisler Publications. Valerie and Victor Kreisler will remain closely involved in the day-to-day operations.
Since 1970, Kreisler Import has been a trusted specialist supplier to a wide range of technical markets. Through Kreisler Components, the company supplies electronic components and related products, with particular expertise in hard-to-find, end-of-life and obsolete parts. Kreisler Publications provides customers with technical publications, international standards, specifications and regulatory documentation.
Building on a strong foundation
“For us, it was important to secure the future of Kreisler in a strong and sustainable way,” say Valerie and Victor Kreisler. “We have found the right partner in the Althen Group – a company that understands our organization, our customers and the way we work. We will remain actively involved in the business and are excited about the opportunities this partnership will create for the further development of Kreisler.”
Edwin Goezinne, CEO of the Althen Group, adds: “Kreisler brings a wealth of specialist knowledge, long-standing customer relationships and a strong heritage. We are committed to preserving these strengths while providing the support and opportunities needed for further growth. Joining the Althen Group also creates opportunities to connect knowledge, markets and networks and to create added value for our customers.”
“Both organizations operate in accordance with the AS9120 quality standard, which further reinforces our shared commitment to quality, reliability and traceability, particularly in the aerospace and defense markets.”
Complementary expertise within the group
Within the Althen Group, Kreisler is a natural fit with Relli Parts & Components B.V. Relli specializes in the sourcing and supply of military, aeronautical and industrial parts and components. Kreisler complements this expertise with its long-standing knowledge of electronic components and technical publications.
Both organizations will continue to serve their customers from their respective areas of expertise, while benefiting from the knowledge, capabilities and international network of the wider Althen Group.
