Egeria takes 65% stake in Ilionx
Dutch investment firm Egeria Capital Management has acquired a 65% majority stake in Utrecht-based IT services provider Ilionx.
Prior to the transaction, Ilionx was fully owned by its directors and management team.
In recent years, the company has expanded its services portfolio into security, information management, management consulting and digital marketing, it said in a statement. Ilionx claims to have doubled its revenues over the last five years, having now reached €50m.
With Egeria's backing, Ilionx is hoping to triple its turnover, with the possibility of making targeted acquisitions. It will also look to improve its digital offering and integrated services, the company said in a statement.
The transaction should be completed at the end of June. Ilionx will operate under the same name, and company management will stay in place.
