This acquisition creates a strong platform for growth. We have experience with similar companies, where we have focused on finding the best platform in terms of a scalable business model combined with a strong company culture and a skilled management team.

Joel Russ, Investment Professional, Adelis

The investment from Adelis, as well as the interest from other international private equity groups, is a tribute to what the founders of IT Relation have achieved. From a small start-up business, IT Relation has become one of the leading Danish IT outsourcing companies. The Danish hosting- and IT outsourcing industry currently enjoys a lot of attention, especially from foreign private equity groups that see great opportunities to consolidate the Danish market.
