M&A success

Finding the perfect match

Strategic acquisitions are vital to Advania's growth journey, ensuring we can offer comprehensive partnerships to our customers. Through 38 integrations to date, we've developed an approach that preserves each organisation's entrepreneurial spirit while strengthening our collective capabilities.

Cultural alignment first

Experience has taught us the value of cultural alignment and shared values. We focus particularly on organisations that thrive on employee autonomy and customer-centric thinking. This emphasis on cultural fit, rather than traditional synergies, has proven fundamental to successful integration.

The Art of Selection

We screen around 150 acquisition opportunities annually, evaluating companies primarily on talent, culture, and their ability to embrace our decentralised model. Our focus remains on long-term value creation as opposed to quick wins. This approach has also enabled successful expansion into three new markets in the last five years.

Strong management engagement and commitment to preserving local autonomy form the foundation of our integration process. By maintaining each organisation's entrepreneurial spirit while providing group-wide support, we transform acquisitions into enduring partnerships.

Through each integration, we enhance not just our scale but our capability to create lasting value. This measured approach continues to strengthen Advania's position as a leading IT services provider in Northern Europe.
