An investment consortium agreed to acquire Anticimex, a global pest control specialist, from EQT VI fund for $7.2bn. The consortium included EQT, Melker Schörling, GIC, AMF, Interogo and Alecta. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2021. "After nine intense years of transformation, with expansion across Europe, North- & South America and APAC, we are thrilled to embark on the next phase of Anticimex' journey. Together with EQT and the significant investment step-up from MSAB as well as the support from other strong partners like GIC, AMF, Interogo Holding Long-Term Equity, and Alecta, we will be in a strong position to capitalize on the great opportunities ahead," Jarl Dahlfors, Anticimex CEO.
