Competition & Public Procurement – Obtaining the FCCA’s merger control clearance for KLAR Partners’ acquisition of Quattro Mikenti Group

We advise funds advised by KLAR Partners in the acquisition and related financing of QMG, one of Finland’s leading players in technical installation and services within electricity, heating, ventilation, sprinklers and automation. The acquisition is the next step in KLAR Partners’ ambition to create the Nordic region’s leading player in technical installation and property services.

QMG offers technical installation and services within electricity, heating, ventilation, sprinklers and automation. With around 1,000 employees in almost 30 locations, the company is one of the largest installation companies in Finland. In 2020, QMG had sales of approximately EUR 200 million.

Together with Sandbäckens, an existing KLAR portfolio company, QMG will form one of the Nordic region’s leading players in technical installation and property services. The two companies, within the newly formed group, will continue to operate as separate units – Sandbäckens on the Swedish market and QMG on the Finnish market.

Completion of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals.
