Unica has succesfully raised financing for the acquisition of Nsecure BV
November 2017 — Unica Group has raised funds to finance the acquisition of Nsecure BV.
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 data centers, 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 (2015: US$336.7 million) and the company’s EBITDA almost doubled to US$23.3 million (2015: US$13.5 million).
