ASPICON has been acquired by Grouplink, a portfolio company of Patrimonium Private Equity and Wille Finance

The acquisition of ASPICON GmbH has strengthened Grouplink Holding GmbH’s position as an integrated IT services group with deep technological expertise in the German-speaking region. ASPICON complements the group’s service portfolio by introducing a highly specialized component focused on database infrastructures.

ASPICON is a German IT service provider specializing in high-performance, highly available database infrastructures such as Oracle, SQL Server and PostgreSQL, as well as managed services. The company delivers tailored on-premise and cloud solutions, 24/7 operations and automation through technologies like Ansible and Kubernetes. Maintaining strong partnerships with leading vendors, ASPICON combines deep technical expertise with a personal and reliable service approach to ensure business continuity and performance.

Grouplink, based in Braunschweig, is an alliance of leading German IT system houses that design, implement and operate ERP and business software landscapes, modern cloud and workplace infrastructures, cybersecurity and data protection frameworks, as well as managed and outsourced services. Backed by Patrimonium Private Equity Fund, Wille Finance and its management team, Grouplink, generates annual revenues of US$47 million and continues to expand through ongoing add-on acquisitions. By uniting its member companies under one roof, Grouplink creates powerful synergies that enable German mid-sized enterprises to operate securely, efficiently and sustainably in a data-driven world.

Oaklins’ team in Germany acted as the exclusive sell-side M&A advisor to the shareholders throughout the entire transaction process.

Parties
“Right from the beginning, the Oaklins team guided us through the sales process with great commitment and expertise. Their support enabled us to position our company in the best possible way for the transaction and to navigate the challenges of a complex, international M&A process with confidence. We were particularly pleased with how professional, and at the same time personal, the collaboration was — we felt well advised and understood at every stage of the process. In the end, we were able to select the ideal partner from a large number of offers that not only convinced us financially but, above all, was also the best strategic and personal fit for us. We would like to thank the Oaklins Germany team for the successful collaboration — it was an intensive time together!”
