Dortmund, January 12, 2023. With Catenate GmbH as its new and now sixth sister company, the IT services group QuinScape Group GmbH is strengthening its competencies in the areas of data management and data integration as well as the associated process consulting around the topics of procurement, material cost controlling, data-driven optimization of supply chains, and license management. The company also has extensive expertise in custom development based on Java EE, particularly interfaces to SAP and TIBCO. The customer focus is on the automotive, media, finance and consumer goods industries.
"With Catenate GmbH, we are taking an important step towards a holistic portfolio offering in our strongest sectors, automotive and finance," says Dr.-Ing. Thomas Biskup, one of the managing directors of QuinScape Group. "In addition, Catenate strengthens the process consulting service area, which has strong synergies with data management and data integration and emphasizes the technical use of data," adds Matthias Störk, Head of Mergers & Acquisitions at QuinScape Group.
For Munich-based Catenate GmbH, joining the QuinScape Group represents a continuation of its growth strategy.
"As an innovative IT service provider, our customers have always been able to expect Catenate to continuously expand and optimize our service portfolio. However, organic growth alone is no longer sufficient for the next growth spurt. That's why we've been looking for a partner for quite some time who can optimally complement our service portfolio," explains Gennaro Castellano, Managing Director of Catenate GmbH.
"We are pleased to have found the optimal partner in the Quinscape Group: The group serves exactly the new topics around data management and analytics that our customers request from us. Together with the group, we are thus opening up both new services and new customers," says Dr. Oliver Pye, another managing director of Catenate GmbH.
With around 500 employees, a total of seven locations spread across Germany and an expected annual turnover of more than 60 million euros in 2022, the QuinScape Group is now one of the leading IT service providers in Europe.
Together with AUCTUS Capital Partners AG as a growth partner, the Dortmund-based IT service provider QuinScape founded QuinScape Group GmbH in 2019. The aim of the group's buy & build strategy is to acquire IT service companies as continuing independent partners in order to strengthen the group in three growth dimensions: Expansion of locations, addition in expertise on significant technologies, and access to further industries and customers.
AUCTUS Capital Partners is the leading independent investment company in Germany with more than 350 company investments since 2001.
