Overview

Headquartered in Rottweil, Germany, the company provides digitalisation solutions across Product Lifecycle Management ("PLM"), Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") and IT Services, supporting mid-market customers with a particular emphasis on the manufacturing sector.

As a strategic implementation partner, MAIT uses the most innovative technologies from market-leading PLM and ERP vendors, complemented by managed services and MAIT.Cloud. The company differentiates itself by looking at digitisation in a holistic way, developing tailored solutions in partnership with its customers; as well as using its own software to bridge gaps between vendor offerings and customer needs.

How we added value

We have worked closely with management to accelerate organic growth and drive a successful buy-and-build strategy in PLM and ERP, more than doubling EBITDA and significantly increasing the share of recurring revenues during our ownership.

Completed and tightly integrated 14 acquisitions
Broadened its geographic footprint across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Benelux laying the foundations for further internationalisation
Migrated its cloud from a legacy owned data centre to a co-location model, improving scalability and reliability
Achieved 2.8x money multiple on exit

Our partnership with 3i has been transformational. Together we have expanded our international presence, deepened our offering with our vendor partners and established MAIT as the leading digitalisation partner for SMEs. We thank 3i for their support and look forward to executing the next stage of our growth strategy under DBAG’s ownership.
