Emeram Capital Partners to Buy Matrix42

Funds advised by the Munich-based private equity firm Emeram Capital Partners signed an agreement to buy Matrix42, a Frankfurt am Main, Germany-based provider of software for workspace management, via a management buyout.

The seller was Asseco Poland S.A., a workspace management solutions provider.

The sale price was not disclosed but the transaction remains subject to approval from antitrust authorities.

Jointly with the existing management, Emeram plans to continue the growth of Matrix42 in terms of existing and new customers. This applies both to further international expansion – particularly in the UK, Benelux and APAC – and to acquisitions of specialist software providers. Matrix42 already took over the Australian enterprise mobility management firm Silverback in 2014.

Founded in 1992 and led by CEO Jochen Jaser, Matrix42 provides solutions that enable management of physical, virtual and mobile workspaces, automatic monitoring of licence compliance and modules for user-managed services, including the integration of company-specific workflows. Under the banner of “Smarter Workspace”, the company serves over 3,000 customers – including BMW, Infineon and Carl Zeiss, which manage over 3 million workspaces worldwide using its software. It operates in seven countries – Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States of America.
