Main Capital-backed SDB Ayton bolts on Cormel IT
Main Capital Partners’ SDB Ayton, an HR, planning, and payroll software company, has acquired Netherlands-based Cormel IT, a healthcare-focused software provider.
The acquisition enables SDB Ayton to broaden its product portfolio and move closer to the primary healthcare processes. The two businesses combined will employ around 100 people.
Main bought SDB Ayton in May this year with the intention to grow through a buy-and-build strategy. The GP made the acquisition via its latest vehicle, Main Capital V, which held a final close on €236.5m in 2017.
SDB Ayton provides SaaS solutions to automate HR, salary administration, and personnel planning processes for the Dutch healthcare market. The business was founded in 1976 and is headquartered in The Hague.
