Carlsquare acted as the exclusive debt advisor to DBAG Fund VIII, a private equity fund advised by Deutsche Beteiligungs AG (“DBAG”) on the acquisition financing of MAIT GmbH (“MAIT”), a leading digital transformation partner for the industrial mid-market. This follows Carlsquare’s successful M&A advisory role in DBAG Fund VIII’s acquisition of MAIT from 3i Group plc (“3i”), with the SPA signed in September of this year.
Headquartered in Rottweil, MAIT is the leading digitalisation partner for the manufacturing industry in DACH and among the top ten mid-market IT consultancy and software integration firms in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Benelux countries. With more than 25 locations, some 900 employees and over 7,000 clients, MAIT offers an integrated solutions portfolio covering PLM and ERP software, IT services, proprietary software modules as well as cloud and managed services.
Deutsche Beteiligungs AG is one of Germany’s most renowned private equity firms. Listed since 1985, it invests in mid-market companies with strong growth potential, focusing on industrial goods, IndustryTech, IT services, software as well as healthcare, environment, energy and infrastructure.
“With the successful completion of the LBO financing, including a substantial committed undrawn facility to finance add-on acquisitions, MAIT is now well equipped to continue its growth path under DBAG Fund VIII ownership. MAIT management plans to focus on expanding into new geographies and further reinforcing MAIT’s position as a leading pan-European digitalization partner for the manufacturing industry.
Carlsquare provided strong support throughout the financing process, demonstrating market expertise, consistent execution capabilities, and exceptional commitment under a demanding timetable. We sincerely thank Carlsquare for their advice and excellent partnership in achieving this important milestone.” – Marcus Bröcker, Head of Financing, DBAG
