Aderian Group was founded by Capillar Equity together with local leading companies with strong brands and broad areas of expertise. Through partnerships, Aderian is able to meet increasing and more complex customer demand while maintaining the local delivery model with a focus on tailored services and personalized delivery.
– Capillar has been a great support to us in the establishment of Aderian, not only financially but also as a partner and advisor. We have a unique model where our companies retain their strong brands and local roots, which is appreciated by both customers and employees. At the same time, we are able to offer both the broad range of services and cutting-edge expertise to always give our customers the sharpest delivery. We are just at the beginning of our growth journey and now look forward to welcoming Adelis as a new partner in our continued growth,” says Mia Åslander, CEO of Aderian Group.
Aderian focuses primarily on small and medium-sized companies and is today a leading player in the Swedish market with approximately SEK 800 million in sales and over 300 employees. In connection with the transaction, sales are expected to have increased to almost SEK 1 billion. With Adelis as the industry-experienced principal owner, the goal is to triple sales over five years, driven by both organic growth and complementary acquisitions.
– “We are very proud to become the main shareholder of Aderian – Mia has together with the industry’s leading entrepreneurs created a unique platform that combines the customer focus of the local company with the resources of the large company,” says Erik Hallert at Adelis.
– We look forward to supporting Aderian’s continued growth, and to welcoming additional entrepreneurs and employees who want to join the vision of becoming the industry’s best IT partner,” says Jakob Wedenborn at Adelis.
– It has been incredibly exciting and fun to be involved in establishing Aderian together with all the committed entrepreneurs, but now Aderian needs a larger partner in its continued expansion and with Adelis we know that Aderian is in good hands. I also look forward to continuing to work with the management, the entrepreneurs, all employees and Adelis through the board, says Mikael Ludvigson, Capillar Equity.
In the transaction, the entrepreneurs, management and key employees remain significant owners and board members Johan de Verdier and Mikael Ludvigson continue on the Aderian board.
The transaction is subject to competition approval and is planned to close in January 2023.
