Rautenberg & Company advises Oakley Capital on the acquisition of vitroconnect.

Our team advised Oakley Capital on the acquisition of vitroconnect GmbH. Signing of the transaction took place on May 14, 2024.

Oakley Capital is the leading pan-European mid-market private equity investor with a long track record of partnering with high growth and profitable founder-led businesses. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Peter Dubens and has raised eight funds and manages c. EUR 11 billion on behalf of its investors. Oakley has backed more than 40 mid-market businesses with over 150 add-on acquisitions in its core sectors technology, consumer, education, and business services.

vitroconnect connects broadband infrastructure providers with resellers through a proprietary, single-interface software platform. The company works with most of Germany’s leading telco players, its intermediation services help customers use broadband networks more efficiently and reduce transaction costs significantly for all parties involved. This unique offering has allowed the company to realise consistent and profitable double-digit growth over the last three years.

As a key enabler of wholesale activities in the highly fragmented and technologically heterogeneous German broadband marketplace, vitroconnect is poised to benefit from the significant proliferation of fibre to the home (‘FTTH’) technology as Germany catches up with European peers.

Our team supported Oakley Capital in the acquisition with a Commercial Due Diligence as well as with strategic advice throughout the entire transaction process.
