BaltCap carves out OpusCapita’s Baltic operations
Baltic GP BaltCap has acquired the Baltic operations of financial automation business OpusCapita in a carve-out.
The GP will buy OpusCapita's Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian subsidiaries in a transaction financed through its second pan-Baltic fund, the 2014-vintage €85m BaltCap Private Equity Fund II.
BaltCap said the company will generate value by leveraging the ongoing move towards a paperless economy in Europe, and especially the Baltic countries.
Expected to complete by December this year, the sale forms part of a move by OpusCapita to improve its focus on specific regions outside the Baltic area.
Company
Founded in the 1980s, OpusCapita is a provider of financial automation services, such as electronic invoicing. Headquartered in Helsinki, the company is a subsidiary of the government-owned Finnish postal services and logistics business Posti Group Corporation.
OpusCapita's Baltic subsidiaries employ 118 people.
