A consortium consisting of Bridgepoint and Polaris Private Equity has reached a definitive agreement to acquire PDSVISION from the CapMan Buyout XI Fund. This transaction represents a successful exit for the seller, who invested in 2020 as the inaugural deal of its eleventh fund. During the holding period, the target underwent a massive international transformation, expanding from a Nordic-focused organization into a global player with a footprint in 15 countries. The strategic growth was fueled by a combination of robust organic performance and aggressive add-on acquisitions, supported by financing partner CORDET. The new majority owners intend to build upon the established foundation to further accelerate the target’s international journey and deliver enhanced value to its global manufacturing customer base. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the first half of 2026.
