Advania, one of the leading IT companies in the Nordic region, is now acquiring Norrland-based Hi5 with 65 employees in Umeå and Luleå. The acquisition gives customers access to more experts and solutions - in more locations - while employees get extended opportunities for development.

For many, 2020 has been a year marked by severances and redundancies. But it has also been a year where the digitalisation has moved forward faster than ever. Increased demand and focus on the customer have enabled the IT company Advania to continue its set growth journey in 2020 – and during the year, 120 new employees were hired. 

Funds managed by Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking Division are to acquire a majority of the shares in Advania AB, alongside management, VIA Equity and other reinvesting shareholders.
