Liberta Partners acquires majority stake in Avenir Group

Munich / Zurich — Liberta Part­ners, a Munich-based multi-family holding company, has acqui­red a majo­rity stake in Avenir Group AG, a leading provi­der of HR outsour­cing services and digi­tal solu­ti­ons head­quar­te­red in Switz­er­land. The part­ners and key execu­ti­ves have also inves­ted signi­fi­cantly in the company. The tran­sac­tion is an important mile­stone in Avenir Group’s growth stra­tegy and enables both further geogra­phic expan­sion and the streng­thening of digi­tal capa­bi­li­ties. Avenir Group was foun­ded in 2005 and is today a trus­ted part­ner for compa­nies with a wide range of HR outsour­cing services, inclu­ding assess­ment, trai­ning, consul­ting and other HR outsour­cing solu­ti­ons. With around 140 employees, Avenir serves small and medium-sized compa­nies as well as large corpo­ra­ti­ons. Toge­ther with the manage­ment, Liberta Part­ners will focus on the acce­le­ra­ted expan­sion and further deve­lo­p­ment of Avenir Group’s digi­tal “HR hub” plat­form. In addi­tion, the company’s digi­tal compe­ten­cies will be further expan­ded to better support compa­nies in opti­mi­zing and digi­tiz­ing their HR proces­ses. The part­ner­ship with Liberta Part­ners will enable the Avenir Group to tap into new market segments more quickly and drive forward its digi­tal trans­for­ma­tion. A central focus is on the deve­lo­p­ment and inte­gra­tion of new soft­ware solu­ti­ons and the expan­sion of stra­te­gic part­ner­ships with leading HR soft­ware provi­ders. In this way, the Group aims to broa­den its service port­fo­lio and streng­then custo­mer loyalty. The Avenir Group is also plan­ning to expand into the German and western Swiss markets. To this end, the exis­ting service offe­ring will be adapted to the needs of new custo­mers in these regi­ons and the geogra­phi­cal presence will be expan­ded through targe­ted acqui­si­ti­ons. “The part­ner­ship with Liberta Part­ners opens up new oppor­tu­ni­ties for us to drive and acce­le­rate our growth. Toge­ther, we will streng­then our market posi­tion and support even more compa­nies in making their HR proces­ses more effi­ci­ent and future-proof with the help of digi­tal and AI-supported services,” says Chris­toph Kohler, CEO of Avenir Group AG. “Avenir fits perfectly with our philo­so­phy of inves­t­ing in dyna­mic compa­nies with strong growth poten­tial. We see great poten­tial in the combi­na­tion of Avenir’s compre­hen­sive and strong service port­fo­lio and our exper­tise in corpo­rate deve­lo­p­ment,” adds Florian Korp, Part­ner at Liberta Part­ners.
