EdRip injects €5m into Prozone-Amisco
Edmond de Rothschild Investment Partners (EdRip) has invested €5m in Prozone-Amisco, a French sports data business that is also backed by XAnge Private Equity and Midi Capital.
In 2010, XAnge and Promelys Participations invested €2.95m in the business, then known as Sport Universal Process. XAnge contributed €1.85m through the XPansion fund.
Since then, the company acquired UK player Prozone in 2011, leading to the creation of the Prozone-Amisco group.
Following this latest transaction, private equity backers will hold a joint minority stake in the business. The company's management team retains the majority of the shares.
Prozone-Amisco will use the fresh funding to accelerate its international development, with a particular focus on Latin America, the Middle-East, Asia and Africa. It will also target new sports such as rugby and ice hockey. Growth is expected to be generated both organically and via acquisitions.
Company
Established in 2004, Prozone-Amisco specialises in data production and the analysis of sports performance. It offers the sports industry, and notably football clubs, technical solutions to manage training, match preparation and recruitment more effectively.
The group posted a €13m turnover in the 12 months to June 2013.
