TBAuctions is a tech company that came to life in 2018 with the merger of Troostwijk Auctions and BVA Auctions. Together, they have set out the organisations mission to be Europe’s leading online auction company, driving a more circular economy.

In a world where overconsumption is a threat, TBAuctions finds it important to extend the life of every product as long as possible. This is why they auction millions of products every year!

TBAuctions HQ is in Amsterdam,from where they work hybrid. Their labels/partners, however, have locations all over Europe.

Shortly thereafter, Summa Equity joined Castik as a co-investor. With the support of both forces, TBAuctions will continue to strengthen its excellent market position within existing geographies and industries, accelerating organic growth and accelerating the pace of add-on acquisitions to build the leading pan-European auction house.
