This deal with the management team of Prenax, which is re-investing substantially with the support of Andera Partners and LBO France, will make it the leading independent European company in the sector. Prenax, a business process outsourcing company founded in 1993, serves its customers – mainly large companies, but also government and university stakeholders – by taking charge of the subscription’s entire lifecycle, from order intake and processing all the way to billing, via its owner extranet. With operations in France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and all four Scandinavian countries, Prenax has finalised 10 acquisitions since 2007 and generates nearly €140 million in business volume. This consolidation deal makes Prenax the European leader in the procurement of information sources for corporate, government and academic customers. The two companies are very well-matched geographically, especially in Spain, Belgium, and the Netherlands and will harness many synergies. Further external growth operations with local players are planned, including one in Australia that will wrap up by the end of the year. Jérôme Conquet, President and CEO of Prenax, adds, “We want to be able to rely on a leading partner to continue our development strategy while preserving the group’s culture and independence. With LBO France’s expertise, we can boost our geographical development through external growth while drawing on their operational performance team during this major integration of LM.” “The merger of Prenax and LM is a unique opportunity to build a leading group in Europe,” notes Jussi Kettunen, Managing Director of LM Information Delivery. “This will open up real opportunities for our customers and all of our employees.” About Prenax Prenax started life in Sweden in 1993, and has expanded through organic growth, acquisitions, and partnerships, to become the world’s largest corporate subscription management partner.
