Supporting international expansion
Providing services in four markets: food safety, sustainability, life safety and healthcare. Normec supports more than 20,000 customers with mission-critical services, often enforced by regulatory requirements. It holds a leading position in its main end-markets.
Since the initial investment in 2020, Normec has more than quadrupled its size. Led by an experienced management team with a track record in value creation, the strong performance is due to solid organic growth and to more than 40 successful acquisitions, which have enabled further international expansion over the company’s four markets.
This transaction will allow us to reinforce Normecʼs pan-European leadership and support our international expansion.
