Jönköping,Sweden, 21th June, 2023: StirlingSquare Capital Partners (“Stirling Square”), a pan-European mid-market private equity firm, today announces the acquisition of a majority stake in Infobric, a leading provider of software solutions for the European construction industry, from Summa Equity (“Summa”), a purpose-driven thematic investment firm. Summa will re-invest alongside Stirling Square, and Infobric’s management team, as a minority investor. Financial terms of the transaction, which is subject to customary regulatory approvals, are not being disclosed.

Stirling Square will work closely with the management team to continue the business’ expansion into new markets and to invest in new products and services, including through selective acquisitions to complement organic growth.

By facilitating the construction industry’s journey to zero accidents, fraud, and emissions, Infobric provides valuable tools to support customers on their impact journeys.

Since being acquired by Summa in 2018, Infobric has pursued impressive geographical growth and expanded its offering, while making several acquisitions across the sector. Infobric is now the market leader in Sweden, Norway, and the UK with several hundred employees, over 10,000 customers and 300,000 individual users.

Their unwavering support and expertise mean we are now well-positioned to become a global leader in the digital construction landscape and deliver on our goals to create a safer and more sustainable industry.
