Triton's Dogado buys Profihost

The acquisition aims to strengthen Dogado's position in the sphere of managed services for websites and online shops.

Triton acquired a minority stake in Finland-based local search provider EDSA in 2012 and subsequently provided an additional €15m equity contribution in December that year, in conjunction with a debt restructuring, to increase its stake to 50.1%. Triton invested via its third fund, which held its final close on €2.25bn in 2010.

EDSA reported revenues of €216m in 2019. It generated revenues of €98m in the first half of 2020.

Dogado has now made 14 add-on acquisitions during the investment period. Prior to the bolt-on of Profihost, the company acquired Easyname in June 2020.
