Italian buyout house Clessidra Private Equity has agreed to acquire a majority stake in Formula Impresoft, marking the third investment from Clessidra Capital Partners 4.
Founded in 2018, Impresoft provides mid-sized companies with technology and consultancy services including cloud, modern workplace and cyber security.
The company is expecting a total revenue of €87m in 2021.
Andrea Ottaviano, CEO of Clessidra, said, “Impresoft Group operates in a sector with important growth prospects and double-digit development potential for some specific segments. Such growth is further boosted by the macro-trend of digitisation of SMEs, which represents a great development opportunity, especially in Italy.
“The unique structure of this group makes it an ideal asset for organic growth driven by sector trends and commercial synergies, as well as a potential platform for future combinations in an industry that traditionally has a strong appetite
for M&A”.
Founded in 2003, Clessidra has more than €2.8bn in capital under management. It completed 24 investments for a total amount of over €2bn.
Clessidra held a first close of Clessidra Capital Partners 4 on €270m in June.
It closed its third fund at €607.3m in 2016.
Recent investments include agreeing to acquire Italian high-end lighting systems producer Viabizzuno from 21 Invest.
