Vaaka sells Finnish roofer to Sentica’s Hämeen Laaturemontti

Vaaka sold the 60% stake in Nesco it had acquired in a 2011 buyout with capital from its Vaaka Partners Buyout I fund.

For Sentica, the acquisition marks the first bolt-on for Hämeen Laaturemontti since the GP became a majority shareholder in March 2014.

Nesco and Hämeen Laaturemontti's CEOs said the deal would allow the new group to offer its services to a broader market and pave the way for further offerings in Sweden.

The transaction is subject to the approval of the Finnish competition authority.

Company
Nesco is a Finnish rainwater and roof safety systems installer based in Orimattila, near Helsinki.
