Hans-Ingar Løvstad appointed CEO of Advania Norway

Advania announces the acquisition of Visolit to create one of the strongest and fastest growing IT service providers in the Nordics.

The closing of the transaction is expected during second half of 2021 and is subject to, amongst other things, regulatory and antitrust review and approval.

Advania AB, a leading full-service IT provider in Northern Europe, has acquired Beveric, an IT company that provides IT consultation services and document management solutions for private and public sector.

As Nordic organizations' demand for digitalization continues to rise, so does the need for a partner who can take on complex and innovative projects. Advania strengthens its presence in the region to add more value to customers operating in the Finnish market. Advania now has over 80 professionals based in Finland, working on digitalization projects and managing critical services for infrastructure organizations all over Europe.

Advania AB, a leading full-service IT provider in the Nordics Europe, has acquired Genia ApS, a hosting specialist in Denmark.

In a joint statement Kristian Hansen CEO of Genia and Carsten Weis CEO of Advania Denmark say:

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.

New owners aim to accelerate Advania’s growth both organically and through acquisitions.

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.
