EQT Private Equity to acquire majority stake in AMCS, the leading provider of Performance Sustainability

AMCS, a global leader of sustainability software for foundational industries, and EQT Private Equity are pleased to announce that EQT X and EQT Future (jointly "EQT Private Equity") will acquire a majority stake in the Company. The co-founder, management, and other existing investors, including existing majority investor Insight Partners, as well as Clearlake Capital, Highland Europe and the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, are expected to retain minority stakes.

Founded in 2003, and headquartered in Ireland, AMCS serves resource-intensive industries, including waste management, recycling, transportation, manufacturing, and utilities. With its industry leading SaaS platform, which includes Enterprise Resource Planning, recycling, transport, and EHSQ & ESG software, AMCS is strongly positioned to support its customers’ needs and shift towards a more circular economy. AMCS’ market is growing quickly thanks to secular tailwinds including the growth in complexity associated with shifting to greater circularity in supply chains, as well as cloud software adoption trends, and increasing regulatory and sustainability reporting.

AMCS' solutions help to deliver increased performance and efficiency in its customers’ operations, while also supporting them to deliver on their sustainability goals and meet regulatory requirements. AMCS’ customers include some of the largest waste management and recycling companies globally, as well as blue-chip manufacturing customers. With over 1,300 employees across Europe, North America and Australasia, AMCS serves over 3800 customers, across 80 countries, and helps manage more than 700,000 vehicles globally.

The partnership with AMCS represents a highly thematic investment for both EQT X and EQT Future. EQT Private Equity will contribute its extensive experience in software value creation and impact acceleration to support the Company’s growth and sustainability ambitions. More than two billion tons of waste is generated annually, resulting in one billion tons of CO2 and 3.2 percent of global emissions1, hence the clear need for solutions that can eventually support the transition to a circular economy. AMCS’ solutions sit at the heart of its customers’ operations and, given its leadership position, have tremendous potential to improve resource efficiency for the industry as a whole.

Performance Sustainability: Sustainability That Means Business

AMCS’ Performance Sustainability Suite is the operating system for foundational industries that makes sustainability and profitability possible. The suite manages the running of day-to-day operations such as contracts and pricing, logistics and transportation, materials and resources, health and safety, and sustainability intelligence. The AMCS Performance Sustainability Suite drives growth and profitability, optimizes efficiency and safety, powers corporate sustainability initiatives, and prepares businesses for the circular economy and the future. With AMCS, businesses can improve performance and scale more easily, enabling foundational industry professionals to leave the planet in a better way than they found it.

Jimmy Martin, co-founder and CEO, AMCS, said: “On behalf of AMCS, I'd like to express our deepest gratitude to EQT, for aligning with our vision of empowering sustainability for organizations globally and championing the circular economy. Their backing is instrumental in supporting the transformative work we do. I’d like to also thank our dedicated, long-standing investors Insight Partners, Clearlake Capital, Highland Europe, and the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund. These pillars of our capital structure have shown once again their unwavering faith in AMCS through their renewed support. Our shared commitment with our investors is the fuel that drives AMCS to solidify our pivotal role as a leader in Performance Sustainability.”

Robert Maclean, Partner in the EQT Private Equity advisory team, said: “We have followed the progress of AMCS closely for many years and have been hugely impressed by what it has achieved, establishing itself as a clear market leader and delivering continuous innovation on behalf of its customers. We strongly believe that AMCS has a fantastic opportunity to further support the circular economy and drive a greater share of recycling within the waste industry. We are very pleased to be partnering with AMCS’ co-founder and CEO Jimmy Martin as well as his entire team, to deliver on an exciting, shared vision for growth.”

Simon Griffiths, Head of the EQT Future advisory team, said: “Our investment in AMCS is strongly aligned with EQT Future’s focus on leading businesses, where the market opportunity and the very strong decarbonisation impact angle support a long-term investment horizon. We believe that AMCS is clearly positioned to be a long-term winner as the world shifts to a circular economy, and we look forward to supporting AMCS to help drive this trend and deliver on its growth ambitions."

Richard Wells, Managing Director at Insight Partners, said: “Since our initial investment in 2015, Insight has had the privilege of supporting AMCS as it scaled into a global market leader driving positive change towards a more circular economy. We look forward to deepening our support of AMCS, led by co-founder and CEO Jimmy Martin, in partnership with EQT as the business continues to innovate and grow."

The transaction is subject to customary conditions and approvals. It is expected to close before Q1 2025.

Enersense Selects Sitetracker as the Platform of Choice for 5G and Fiber Expansion Initiatives16.12.2025 15:00:00 CET | Press release

Sitetracker, the global leader in complete Asset Lifecycle Management, announced that Enersense, a leading lifecycle partner for customers operating in energy transmission and production, industrial energy transition and telecommunications services across Finland and the Baltics, has selected Sitetracker to digitize and scale its operations. The implementation enabled Enersense to replace legacy systems, standardize workflows, and support their ability to deliver services with short lead times and high process precision. The first phase of implementation is already supporting Finland’s 5G and rapidly expanding fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) initiatives. Before Sitetracker, Enersense relied on spreadsheets and email to manage project execution, resulting in limited visibility into project milestones, asset tracking, and field performance. As 5G and FTTH deployment accelerated, these manual processes created operational bottlenecks, slowed invoicing, and hindered communication with customers a
