KPD is a well-established software provider for the Belgian construction sector, serving contractors and developers with digital tools that support key stages of the project lifecycle. The company has built a solid presence in the enterprise segment and plays an important role in helping construction firms improve efficiency and project control.
“KPD has built its strong position by working closely with construction companies and supporting their daily operations,” says Niels Decraene, CEO of KPD. “Becoming part of Aceve allows us to strengthen our roadmap and support customers with broader capabilities, and we see strong alignment in how we work with the industry.”
“Acquiring Syntess Group and KPD further cements Aceve’s position as a leading Northern European player and unlocks new value creation opportunities through integration and cross-sell,” says Ali Farahani, Partner within EQT Private Equity’s Advisory Team. “Both companies have developed strong offerings rooted in deep industry expertise, and we’re excited to support the next phase of their growth journey.”
Together with the earlier acquisition of Brink Software, the additions of Syntess and KPD further strengthen Aceve’s market position in Benelux, with a combined regional revenue base of more than 50 million euros, and support Aceve’s ambition to build a leading European platform for the trades and construction sector. Aceve acquired Syntess from Nedvest and KPD from Green Park Investment Partners. Aceve was advised by White & Case and Axeco.
