As of July 1, 2025, Ultimesh will take over the business activities of Altho B.V. from Zeewolde. With this acquisition, we are expanding our range with a complete package of materials for the production of insect screens. A great next step for both Ultimesh and Altho’s valued relationships.
After 35 years in the insect screen industry, Ruud Thoomes, founder and owner of Altho, has decided to retire. With great care, he has searched for a suitable successor for his company – and found that in Ultimesh. We are proud and grateful for the trust placed in us to continue Ruud’s work.
Ruud will remain involved behind the scenes during the transition period to ensure a smooth handover.
For Altho’s existing relationships, most things will remain the same. All agreements, terms, and ongoing orders will continue unchanged. We have also taken over the full inventory, ensuring that deliveries and reservations proceed without interruption.
What will change?

With the acquisition of Altho, Ultimesh strengthens its position as a total supplier in the field of insect screening and mesh solutions. We will continue the current product range and at the same time explore opportunities to start producing custom-made screens ourselves and further expand our offering in the future.
We are very excited about the start of Ultimesh and look forward to building something great together with our relationships.
We sincerely thank Ruud Thoomes for his years of dedication, his involvement in the industry, and the trust he has placed in Ultimesh to continue his company’s legacy.
