Investec has advised Magellium shareholders on the sale of the Group to Weinberg Capital Partners
About the deal
Magellium is an innovative group combining advanced software and scientific expertise in geospatial data, geographic systems and image processing with industrial information technology capabilities to deliver high value-added, mission-critical software solutions.
Through four complementary divisions (Digital Geography, Earth & Space Observation, Software Engineering and Artificial Vision), Magellium addresses the Space, Defence, Environment and Energy industries, serving a loyal base of large public and private customers. Leveraging its robust R&D capabilities and strong CSR policy, Magellium benefits from a talented and loyal workforce and continues to attract young engineers and doctors that are keen to address meaningful and large projects.
After a competitive process run by Investec, Eiréné (Weinberg Capital Partners) emerged as the preferred partner to support Magellium in its next phase of development. This operation will enable Magellium to significantly accelerate its organic development by leveraging Eiréné’s unique sector knowledge and network notably in the defence and security fields, and its experience in external growth.
