Joining forces to consolidate the geomonitoring industry

Equip Capital has acquired a majority share in Cautus Geo AS

Equip Capital is a Nordic private equity firm headquartered in Oslo, Norway. The team’s investment strategy is to build robust partnerships with entrepreneurs and management teams. Equip Capital takes controlling positions in profitable businesses with unrealized growth potential that can be triggered by applying their ownership methodology and expertise. The firm’s approach is based on successful execution of focused, actionable value creation plans that build better companies.

Cautus Geo is Norway’s leading geomonitoring firm focusing on the installation, operations and maintenance of automated geotechnical monitoring solutions. The management of Cautus Geo AS is excited to welcome Equip Capital on board, and looks forward to joining them in developing a leading international group of geomonitoring companies.

Oaklins’ team in Norway acted as the exclusive strategic and financial advisor to Equip Capital. The acquisition of Cautus Geo is the first investment in an ambitious international buy-and-build program within the geomonitoring segment and Oaklins will continue to advise Equip Capital throughout this program.
