Dancover has approx. 70 employees and an EBITDA of approx. 25 mio. kr.
Dancover has experienced significant growth, and the sellers therefore now wanted a partner who can support the continued growth and development.
Following a sale process with several potential buyers, the choice fell on the private equity fund Capidea. A foreign industrial buyer also came a long way in the process, but in the end, the offer from Capidea was the best for the sellers. Capidea is the new majority owner, but the sellers Lene and Henrik Boserup-Wedam will remain significant co-shareholders and continue in the management. John Thomas, who has extensive experience with growth companies, will be the new chairman of the board and will also join as a co-owner.
Capidea is a Danish private equity fund that makes long-term investments in competitive small and medium-sized Danish companies with potential for growth within industry, trade, distribution, IT and service. Capidea was established in November 2006 and has made investments in 24 companies with a total turnover of almost DKK 7 billion.
“For 18 years, our fantastic employees have helped to make a dream come true and made Dancover the innovative and versatile e-commerce company we are today. With Capidea as a partner, Dancover will have the opportunity to accelerate continued growth as well as to further develop and realize the potential in the international market. We look forward to the new collaboration with Capidea and John Thomas”
