Alex Collins, Partner, commented: “intergenia has grown strongly throughout Oakley’s investment period under the excellent management of intergenia’s founders and wider management team. Organic growth was enhanced during 2014 through the successful acquisition and integration of a number of synergistic acquisitions in the ‘managed hosting’ sector in Germany.
The complementary combination of intergenia and Host Europe Group will create one of the most successful and comprehensive hosting businesses in Europe and will create a strong platform for continued organic growth. This transaction is a great example of Oakley’s expertise in the TMT sector and its ability to identify and back top performing entrepreneurs to rapidly grow their companies.”
