We have advised Complea A/S on its majority investment from the European private equity fund GTO Partners. This transaction marks a significant milestone in Complea’s growth journey, with GTO Partners acquiring a 60% stake in the fast-growing IT and digital services provider.

Founded in 2010 by CEO Morten Hovaldt, Complea has consistently achieved annual growth, evolving from a local IT provider to a well-established national player. The investment from GTO Partners will enable Complea to accelerate its ambitious growth strategy, expand nationwide, and further build on its strong customer-centric culture.

This partnership reflects a shared vision of scaling the business through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, while preserving Complea’s core values and agile approach. We are  proud to have supported Complea in securing a strategic partner to drive the next phase of its development.

Complea GTO

We have seen growth within IT Managed Services for a long time, and especially now, with the new EU directive (NIS2) on its way, even more businesses are reinforcing their focus on their IT-setups. There is still a high degree of consolidation in the industry, creating strong interest from potential buyers.
At the same time, the high level of recurring revenue is attractive to buyers, as it creates security and visibility. Complea is a good example of a company that has understood how to design and scale its business impressively well – so well that it now continues its growth journey backed by a strong partner like GTO.
