According to a press release, the purchase price was €0.7 million, although this may be subject to additional payments depending on the company‘s 2022 and 2023 results. In 2021, the Danish company generated annual net sales of DKK 9.4 million (EUR 1.27 million) and EBIT of DKK 0.7 million. The Group expects Møn Print‘s annual sales to grow by slightly more than 10% and its EBIT margin to significantly improve in 2022.
“We are thrilled to welcome within our Group such a renowned player in Denmark and Northern Europe, strengthening our position in this region,” Cyril Calvignac, Icape Group‘s CEO, stated in the release. “This acquisition is in line with our ambitious external growth strategy, as announced during our IPO, in order to consolidate our global leadership in the PCB distribution through now 29 subsidiaries worldwide.

It is with enthusiasm that we will share our know-how with Møn Print which will benefit from the complete range of high value-added services of [the] Group.
