Allgeier IT Services
Allgeier IT Services (AITS) is one of the largest providers of full-service IT & cloud managed services in Germany. It is a key partner to the German Mittelstand, providing managed services in a standardized, modular and automated way, leveraging AI, best-in-class tooling and centralized services. Among others, the company serves as a strategic partner for organizations operating in the KRITIS (critical infrastructure) space, offering a portfolio of mission-critical yet standardized solutions that address complex IT challenges while ensuring full compliance with strict regulatory requirements.
The Deal
Lincoln International has advised Allgeier SE on the sale of AITS. Lincoln International ran a highly competitive process with high engagement of both strategic and financial investors. Ultimately, Synova was able to win the deal. As an innovative and international investor, Synova brings the scale and expertise to support AITS’ continued growth, organically and inorganically.
