CONSILIUM SAFETY GROUP acquired by ANTIN INFRASTRUCTURE
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.

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.
