Apera Asset Management (“Apera”), a pan-European private debt investor in the mid-market space, proudly announces the arrangement of a unitranche facility for DMS Gruppe (“DMS” or the “Company”). The new debt facility supports the investment by funds advised by Avedon Capital Partners (Avedon) into DMS.
DMS is a Germany-based, full-service BPO provider offering traditional and automation-supported BPO, consulting services and training, combining in-depth knowledge of the evolving regulatory environment with technological expertise. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Gera, Thuringia, DMS employs more than 780 FTE, professionally trained by an in-house academy, across 8 locations in Germany. The Company serves a diversified customer base, predominantly in the energy sector, ranging from municipality-backed utilities to blue-chip corporates. The energy transition to net-zero emission targets provides a long-term backdrop for growth in the energy-focused BPO space, driven by increasing process volume, complexity, and outsourcing.
Alexis Weege, Partner at Avedon, said: “We are looking forward to working with Apera, who has provided a tailored financing package to DMS, designed to support our growth ambitions with the Company in a highly attractive segment.”
Benjamin Schall, Partner at Apera Asset Management, said: “We are very pleased to complete our first transaction with Avedon and look forward to accompanying DMS on its growth path in the future. We also look forward to developing a fruitful and trustful partnership with both Avedon and the Company.”
