Coor acquires Inspira
Coor today signed an agreement relating to the acquisition of Inspira, a well-run family business that delivers workplace services, mainly focused on cleaning, for a large number of customers in central Sweden. The acquisition increases Coor’s geographical coverage in central Sweden and generates significant synergies.
Inspira has 1,400 employees and annual sales of some SEK 700 M. The purchase consideration (on a cash and debt free basis) amounts to SEK 380 M and corresponds to an EV/EBITA multiple of approximately 8x in relation to current EBITA, and close to 6x when expected synergies are realized in 2023. The acquisition is financed entirely within the framework of Coor’s existing financing.
“The acquisition of Inspira increases our geographical coverage and the company is a close fit with Coor’s growth strategy. It is a well-run company with high customer loyalty and a long history of quality and profitability. We really look forward to welcoming new competent employees to Coor,” commented AnnaCarin Grandin, President and CEO of Coor.
”I am delighted that Coor is Inspira’s new owner, and am convinced that Coor will continue to develop the business with a retained focus on staff and customers,” commented Joakim Markovits, CEO and main owner of Inspira.
The acquisition of Inspira will be completed following the customary review by the Swedish Competition Authority. The transaction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter 2021.
