Context
Antin Infrastructure Partners acquired a majority stake in Consilium Safety Group from Nordic Capital. The transaction represents the culmination of a transformation led by the previous owner, which saw the company carved out from a listed entity and pivoted toward a high-margin, service-oriented model. For Antin, the investment thesis relies on the "infrastructure-like" characteristics of Consilium: its products are legally mandated by safety regulations (e.g., on ships or trains), ensuring sticky customer retention and resilience against economic downturns. Antin plans to support further international expansion and digitalization of the company's safety management platforms, potentially through add-on acquisitions in the fragmented safety tech market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12/2019 | NORDIC CAPITAL | CONSILIUM SAFETY GROUP | SWEDEN | Safety & Security | Nordic Capital signed an agreement to acquire Consilium Marine & Safety from its parent company, Consilium AB, in a complex carve-out transaction. The deal includes the transfer of the "Consilium" brand rights to the new standalone entity. The strategic rationale is to liberate the division from the conglomerate structure of the listed parent, allowing it to operate as an independent, focused safety champion. Nordic Capital plans to deploy its operational resources to accelerate growth through R&D investment, commercial excellence initiatives, and a targeted M&A strategy to consolidate the fragmented safety market. The thesis is heavily underpinned by the resilience of the safety market and the attractive recurring revenue profile of the aftermarket business. |
