Deal or Case news

French private equity company Apax Partners (Apax) has acquired the Dutch IT company Odin Groep (Odin) from Fortino Capital.

Odin came into the hands of Fortino Capital in 2019. Since then, Odin with 650 employees managed to double its turnover to €140 mln in 2021.

Odin manages online computer workstations, with which employees of companies have access to the right applications and data.

Under the wings of Apax, Odin will continue to further expand in the Netherlands and also expand to Germany and Belgium.
