CSN Groep takes new steps in growth strategy thanks to equity investment by Quadrum Capital.

CSN Groep, a nationally operating IT service provider from Leusden, acquired a new joint shareholder in June 2020, in the form of investment company Quadrum Capital. For CSN Groep, the partnership with Quadrum Capital, with its strong presence in the IT sector, represents an important step forwards in achieving its growth strategy, in which CSN Groep is focusing increasingly on its role as pilot and director on the digital journey of its business clients in the construction sector and manufacturing industry, among others.

Cooperation as the foundation for the best IT service provision Mathijs Bakker, CEO at CSN Groep, explained, CSN Groep and Quadrum Capital share the same long-term vision on the IT market. Our role as IT service provider on that market is becoming increasingly focused on guiding businesses on their journey as a digital enterprise, starting with strategy, technology and organisation. Cooperation is the key in creating the multidisciplinary IT footprint they need to complete that journey. The secret is not trying to do everything yourself, but joining forces to deliver the best possible quality at every waypoint along the road. The partnership with Quadrum Capital means that we can accelerate the pace at which we move forward. On the one hand because it enables us to autonomously further expand our already solid market position as a Managed Service Provider, and on the other hand quite simply because we can also call upon the expertise and capacity of other IT specialists so that now and in the future, we can continue to respond rapidly in meeting even the most complex customer demands.’

Building on the effectiveness of an IT family The investment in CSN Groep adds an important new player to the IT portfolio at Quadrum Capital. As explained by Arjan Hoop, Managing Partner at Quadrum Capital: ‘Our portfolio is aimed at companies that contribute to the digital journey of their client’s enterprises, each based on their own strengths. Backed up by the efficiency advantages offered by membership of this IT family, we can deliver optimum support to CSN Groep in expanding its market position as a successful Managed Service Provider and market leader in the field of advanced online work environments for the construction sector and manufacturing industry. In return, the technological leadership, expertise and capacity of CSN Groep delivers huge added value for the other IT investments in our portfolio.’ In addition to CSN Groep, the IT portfolio at Quadrum Capital includes cloud expert Fundaments, IT service provider Exite ICT and cybersecurity specialist DataExpert, among other things.
