25.02.2022
CONUTI and EWERK form group of companies for regulated end customers
In the course of the CONUTI acquisition, NORD Holding is establishing a new group of companies together with its portfolio company EWERK. By grouping up, both companies are combining their expertise in IT services with focus on regulated end customers.
CONUTI GmbH, founded in 2010, operates as a partner for the implementation and the development of software solutions for business-critical processes in the energy sector. With currently more than 60 employees, CONUTI is a demanded specialist for IT consulting and development services for the powercloud ecosystem, an energy sector specific software solution. In addition to large energy suppliers, customers also include regional municipal utilities as well as other energy market-related players. CONUTI co-founder Daniel Heinemann will continue the growth path as a shareholder and CEO of the company together with its management team. Co-founder Markus Tegetmeyer will exit the company as part of this transaction.
Daniel Heinemann, CEO of CONUTI, explains: "We are looking forward to working with NORD Holding and EWERK. As part of the group, we will be able to accelerate our growth in a structured way. Thus, not only our customers, but also our employees will benefit significantly. On the one hand through experience exchange, the technical expertise, as well as the additional business opportunities."
Since the majority shareholding of NORD Holding, EWERK has been able to further grow its market position as a leading full-service IT provider for customers in the regulated environment, for example in the energy, healthcare, or the public sector. As members of the newly formed group, EWERK and CONUTI support each other through their respective strengths, resources, and technical capabilities. The group continues to pursue an ambitious organic as well as inorganic growth strategy.
The investment was carried out by the Software & IT Services team of NORD Holding and underlines the sector competence in IT services.
On part of NORD Holding, the transaction was executed by Andreas Bösenberg, Christoph Grunewald and Dominik Bronstering.
