Since Verium’s investment in 2020, the Sequotech Group has grown significantly through both organic expansion and acquisitions, continuously strengthening its market position, according to a statement. The IT services specialist now comprises nine companies and employs more than 350 people. With Sagard Private Equity Solutions joining as an institutional investor, the group is entering its next phase of growth.

The continuation vehicle brings together existing and new investors. Its primary objective is to continue Sequotech’s successful buy-and-build strategy while supporting targeted strategic investments in organic growth and the further development of group-wide capabilities.

Significant Scaling Potential

Sequotech’s business model is characterised by a high proportion of managed services and strong customer loyalty, supported by its local presence. According to the company, this provides significant additional synergy and scaling potential. A particular focus will be placed on further strengthening the SME segment while expanding specialised IT services for large enterprises.

Daniel Neuhaus, CEO of the Sequotech Group, said: «With Sagard Private Equity Solutions, we are gaining a strong partner to consistently execute our two-pillar strategy in the Swiss market. For SMEs, we will continue to offer comprehensive 360-degree IT services that combine local proximity with an outstanding customer experience. At the same time, this partnership strengthens our capabilities in the enterprise segment, particularly in regulated industries and the public sector.»

Stephanie Roller, Partner Direct Investments at Verium and Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of the Sequotech Group, added: «Since Verium founded Sequotech, the group has developed very successfully, generating revenues of more than CHF 85 million. Over the past few months, together with the newly strengthened management team, we have launched the next phase of the company’s development. We are proud to welcome Sagard Private Equity Solutions, a leading institutional investor, as our new partner.»

Philipp Scheier, Partner at Sagard Private Equity Solutions, who led the investment and will represent the firm on Sequotech’s Board of Directors, said: «Sequotech has experienced rapid growth in recent years. We are delighted to work alongside Verium and a highly motivated management team to continue the company’s successful growth journey.»
