Context

IK Partners, through its IK Small Cap III Fund, has signed an agreement to invest in Sansidor alongside existing shareholders HC Partners, the original founders, and the management team. This transaction marks a new phase of growth for the Group, which was originally created in 2018 through a series of acquisitions.

Target

Sansidor is a fast,growing testing, inspection, and related services provider based in the Netherlands, specializing in the safety, health, and sustainability of the built environment. The Group operates as a "one,stop shop" for small, medium, and large enterprises, offering a broad suite of recurring, compliance,led services across four primary segments: Water Safety, Fire Protection, Electricity, and Building Integrity. Additionally, the Group maintains specialized niches in Infection Prevention and air measurements. Its business model is built on a decentralized network of high,performing specialist companies that maintain their entrepreneurial culture while benefiting from central support. This structure ensures a high level of customer stickiness, driven by stringent insurance, regulatory, and legal requirements that necessitate regular inspections of technical installations and building systems.
