PE-backed Amexio bolts on Gam Consult

Amexio financed the acquisition via a capex line arranged by SGCP when the investor backed the group in 2014. The transaction was also supported by a senior debt package provided by BNP Paribas, LCL and Neuflize OBC.

Gam Consult will bring Amexio an extra €5m in revenues, and an extra 40 staff. The combined entity should generate around €23m in revenues and employ 210 people. However, Amexio said it would aim for a €25m turnover this year.

The addition of Gam Consult will enable Amexio to extend its client portfolio, with a stronger focus on the Benelux region.

Previous funding
In July 2014, SGCP backed the owner buyout of Amexio. The backer took a minority stake alongside co-founder Xavier Morcillo. A capex line was put in place by the investor at the time.
