Emagine acquired by Prodata Consult

DENMARK Industrial Services / Engineering & Consulting REV €100–200M

Context

ProData Consult, facilitated by its majority shareholder Axcel, has acquired 100% of the French-headquartered emagine Group. This transformative acquisition represents ProData’s fourth deal in less than two years and serves as a cornerstone for its expansion outside the Nordics. The strategic rationale is to create a fully integrated pan-European range of coherent IT consultancy services by merging ProData’s Northern European dominance with emagine’s prominent positions in France, Germany, and the UK. The combined entity will leverage ProData’s proprietary IT platform to realize operational synergies and offer global clients enhanced scalability. Post-closing, ProData CEO Anders Gratte will lead the combined group, while emagine CEO Jean-François Bodin will remain in a key management role to oversee the integration of the two organizations.

In the past, Emagine was acquired by MBO+ in 2015 as part of its expansion strategy.
