Adelis successfully exits Logent

Adelis Equity Partners Fund I (“Adelis”) has sold its majority stake in Logent AB (“Logent”) to Stirling Square Capital Partners.

”Mats Steen, Sara Fors and the rest of Logent’s management team have done a fantastic job in building Logent into the leading independent contract logistics company in Sweden and Norway. They have built a strong foundation for the future, and Logent’s growth is now ready to take off, as evident by the strong sales momentum. We believe Stirling Square Capital Partners will be an excellent partner to support their exciting journey going forward. We at Adelis are very proud to have been part of Logent’s transformation into a true industry leader”, says Joel Russ and Jan Åkesson of Adelis.

Mats Jönsson, Chairman of Logent says: “It has been an honor to work with such a great team at Logent. Great investments in building a foundation and culture have led to strong results for our customers, employees and owners.”  

”Logent’s management team is proud of the development that the company has achieved together with Adelis and our Board over the past several years. The close cooperation has been vital for the success of the strategic transformation. I’m now looking forward to Logent’s next chapter together with Stirling Square Capital Partners and our continued positive development”, says Mats Steen, CEO of Logent.
