"Arnhems laadpalenbedrijf Allego miljarden waard op Wall Street
UPDATEARNHEM/NEW YORK - Het Arnhemse laadpalenbedrijf Allego gaat naar de beurs in New York. De voormalige dochteronderneming van netwerkbeheerder Alliander krijgt daarbij een waarde van ruim 3,1 miljard dollar toegedicht, meldt het bedrijf op zijn eigen site.
Voor de beursgang fuseert Allego met zogeheten special purpose acquisition company, of ‘spac’, van investeerder Apollo Global Management. Dat is een fonds zonder eigen activiteiten dat al een notering heeft aan de New York Stock Exchange. Via de samensmelting neemt Allego die beursnotering over.

Allego werd in 2013 door Alliander opgezet om laadoplossingen op maat te maken voor gemeenten, bedrijven en vervoersmaatschappijen. Op dit moment heeft het bedrijf in twaalf landen 26.000 laadpunten voor elektrische auto’s geïnstalleerd. In 2018 verkocht Alliander zijn dochterbedrijf aan de Franse investeerder Meridiam. Dat bedrijf zal een belang van circa 75 procent in Allego houden.
Bij de beursgang steken investeerders nog eens 702 miljoen dollar in het bedrijf. Dat geld is onder andere nodig om Allego verder te laten groeien.
Stormachtige groei
Allego maakte de afgelopen jaren een stormachtige groei door. Gemiddeld verdubbelde het bedrijf tussen 2017 en 2020 ieder jaar de eigen omzet. Tot en met 2025 rekent het bedrijf op een gemiddelde jaarlijkse omzetgroei van 46 procent, geholpen door een fikse toename van het aantal elektrische auto’s in Europa. Nu rijden op het continent nog zo’n 3 miljoen stekkerauto’s rond, maar dat zijn er volgens Allego over vier jaar bijna 20 miljoen.
Het laadpalenbedrijf heeft naar eigen zeggen ook enkele technologische troeven in handen om goed te concurreren. Zo helpt software die cijfers over verkeersdrukte combineert met schattingen van de vraag naar elektrisch laden Allego bij het kiezen van geschikte nieuwe locaties. Daarnaast heeft het bedrijf eigen cloudsoftware voor bijvoorbeeld betaaldiensten.
Paradepaardje van Cleantech Campus
Het bedrijf is het paradepaardje van Cleantech Campus Industriepark Kleefse Waard IPKW in Arnhem en begon daar ooit met 15 mensen. In 2019 meldde het bedrijf dat het in Europa bijna 300 medewerkers in dienst had. Er is inmiddels wel een reorganisatie achter de rug, zo meldt een woordvoerder. ,,Het aantal werknemers ligt thans op tussen de 135 en 140.”
Een oud fabrieksgebouw van voorheen AkzoNobel is op de Kleefse Waard speciaal herontwikkeld om de wereldspeler op de markt van laadpalen meer ruimte te geven. Burgemeester Ahmed Marcouch van Arnhem toonde zich twee jaar terug zeer verheugd dat het bedrijf besloten had om het hoofdkantoor in de Gelderse hoofdstad te houden en van daaruit verder door te groeien. Dat blijft zo, zo benadrukt de woordvoerder."

Het bedrijf staat op een terrein waar je zonder autorisatie niet naar binnen mag. Er is private security op het terrein.
Toegang wordt alleen gegeven aan mensen die op het terrein moeten zijn, zij krijgen een pasje om door de poort te komen.
Dit zal te maken hebben met de privacy gevoelige informatie die niet voor derden beschikbaar mag zijn.
De coördinaten zijn daarom bij de ingang van het terrein genomen daar waar de Allegro laadpaal staat.

Arnhem's charging station company Allego worth billions on Wall Street
UPDATEARNHEM/NEW YORK - The Arnhem charging station company Allego is going to be listed on the stock exchange in New York. The former subsidiary of network manager Alliander will be valued at more than $3.1 billion, the company reports on its own site.
For the IPO, Allego will merge with the so-called special purpose acquisition company, or 'spac', of investor Apollo Global Management. This is a fund with no activities of its own that is already listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Allego will take over the stock exchange listing through the merger.

Allego was set up by Alliander in 2013 to create customized charging solutions for municipalities, companies and transport companies. The company currently has 26,000 charging points for electric cars installed in twelve countries. In 2018, Alliander sold its subsidiary to the French investor Meridiam. That company will hold a stake of approximately 75 percent in Allego.
Investors will invest an additional $702 million in the company during the IPO. That money is needed, among other things, to allow Allego to continue to grow.
Stormy growth
Allego has experienced tremendous growth in recent years. On average, the company doubled its own turnover every year between 2017 and 2020. Up to and including 2025, the company expects an average annual sales growth of 46 percent, helped by a sharp increase in the number of electric cars in Europe. There are currently about 3 million plug-in cars on the continent, but according to Allego there will be almost 20 million in four years.
The charging station company also claims to have some technological trump cards to compete well. For example, software that combines traffic figures with estimates of the demand for electric charging helps Allego to choose suitable new locations. In addition, the company has its own cloud software for, for example, payment services.
Showpiece of Cleantech Campus
The company is the showpiece of Cleantech Campus Industrial Park Kleefse Waard IPKW in Arnhem and started there with 15 people. In 2019, the company reported that it employed nearly 300 employees in Europe. A reorganization has now been completed, a spokesperson said. “The number of employees is currently between 135 and 140.”
An old factory building formerly owned by AkzoNobel has been specially redeveloped on the Kleefse Waard to give the global player in the charging station market more space. Two years ago, Mayor Ahmed Marcouch of Arnhem was very pleased that the company had decided to keep its head office in the Gelderland capital and continue to grow from there. That will remain the case, the spokesperson emphasizes."

The coordinates were therefore taken at the entrance to the site, where the Allegro charging station is located.
There is no sign on the building but this artikel in a local newspaper tells about the opening of the new office of Allegro. You can see it is the same building and parking lot as one of the pictures. (
