Unica has raised financing for the sale of a majority stake to Triton
Triton, the Van Vliet family and Unica's management have successfully raised financing for the acquisition of a majority stake in Unica.
Unica is a family-owned technical services company and industry leader in sustainable solutions. The company offers complementary, specialized and innovative electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and ICT services. It mainly serves clients in non-cyclical sectors, such as datacenters, education, healthcare, hospitality and industry. Unica was founded more than 80 years ago and fosters a culture based on family values and long-term sustainable growth. Consequently, Unica has grown strongly from a regional player into the largest independent Dutch technical services company, with more than 2,000 skilled employees and a countrywide footprint.
Both in terms of revenues and profitability, Unica has shown significant growth in recent years and is heading towards revenues of US$576.6 million over the next few years. The company is well positioned to take advantage of the rising demand for sustainable buildings and increasing intelligence in the building environment. In 2016, Unica's revenue grew by more than 20% to US$411.7 million (US$336.7 million in 2015) and the company’s EBITDA almost doubled to US$23.3 million (US$13.5 million in 2015).
Oaklins' team in the Netherlands acted as the exclusive debt advisor to Triton, the Van Vliet family and Unica's management in this fundraising.
