Arma Partners advises EQT on the acquisition of AMCS

Arma Partners is pleased to announce that it has acted as the exclusive financial advisor to EQT on its acquisition of a majority stake in AMCS, a leading provider of performance and sustainability software for resource-intensive industries. EQT will invest from EQT X, its flagship private equity fund, and EQT Future, its impact-driven, longer-hold fund. Existing majority investor Insight Partners, as well as Clearlake Capital, Highland Europe and the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund are expected to retain minority stakes.

AMCS delivers a modern SaaS solution designed to support a wide range of industries, including waste management, recycling, transportation, manufacturing, and utilities. The company’s solutions empower its customers to achieve sustainability goals, streamline processes, and enhance efficiency while addressing the complexities of the circular economy and ensuring workplace safety, community well-being, and regulatory compliance. Operating in a high-growth market, AMCS benefits from multiple secular tailwinds, including greater circularity in supply chains, cloud software adoption trends and increased regulatory and sustainability reporting requirements.

AMCS’s customers include some of the largest waste management and recycling companies globally, as well as blue-chip manufacturing customers. With over 1,300 employees across Europe, North America and Australasia, AMCS serves over 3,800 customers, across 80 countries, and helps manage more than 700,000 vehicles globally.

AMCS represents a highly thematic investment for EQT. EQT will contribute its extensive experience in software value creation and impact acceleration to support the company’s growth and sustainability ambitions.

This transaction further demonstrates Arma Partners’ expertise in successfully navigating landmark buy-side transactions on behalf of global private equity investors and highlights the firm’s successful track record in Sustainability and Industrial Technology.
