CapMan Russia invests in MAYKOR - a leading Russian IT outsourcing service
provider
CapMan Russia II, a fund managed by CapMan, has made its first investment
in MAYKOR - the leading Russian IT outsourcing service provider. The investment
is made jointly with the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and the European
Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The objective of the transaction
is to further increase MAYKOR's market share in Russia.
MAYKOR has a leading market position with a federal footprint in Russia and is
especially focused on the comprehensive one-stop-shop servicing of IT equipment,
facility systems and business applications. The MAYKOR Group was founded in
2010. Today MAYKOR has 83 regional branches, over 400 service subdivisions and
employs over 3000 certified engineers. The Group serves over 1,000 large and
medium geographically distributed clients in various industries across Russia.
"We see great potential in the outsourcing industry and have first-hand
experience in this space through several portfolio companies in the Nordics. The
Russian outsourcing market consists of small service providers with limited
regional coverage. In contrast, MAYKOR enjoys significant economies of scale
that allow the company to remain highly competitive across Russia," states
Heikki Westerlund, CEO and Senior Partner, CapMan Group.
"This investment will enable MAYKOR to continue to lead the process of industry
consolidation through our selective M&A strategy. Integrating newly acquired
service providers and increasing our cross-selling opportunities will further
boost organic growth and improve our capability to support our customers.
Moreover, the investment will help MAYKOR to improve corporate governance
according to international standards,"says Sergey Sulgin, President of MAYKOR.
The IT market in Russia exceeded USD 24 billion in 2012. In the last year the
sector has expanded by approximately 15 % and the growth rate is expected to
increase further.
