Colligent Inkasso was acquired by Ropo Capital

Ropo Capital, a Kuopio, Finland based company providing invoice lifecycle services, announced that is acquiring all shares in Colligent Inkasso AB, the banking group Collector’s 3rd party debt collection company from Sweden.

The deal was made with  parent company Collector AB for SEK 240M ($25M). With this acquisition, Ropo speeds up the launching of its automation-based invoice lifecycle services on the Swedish market and responds to the demands of its Finnish customers in the Nordic countries.

With the acquisition, Colligent’s 60 credit management professionals will become Ropo Capital’s employees and the existing customer base, except for Collector Group’s own non-performing loans and receivables, is transferred to Ropo as well.

Colligent Inkasso is a part of the Swedish banking group Collector. Colligent Inkasso’s revenue last year was approximately 95 million Swedish krona. As a result of the acquisition, Ropo’s turnover will grow by approximately €8 million and increase the number of employees in Sweden and Finland to over 260 financial specialists.

Ropo Capital is a leading provider of invoice lifecycle management services in Finland covering the whole value chain of receivables management. The company is owned by Adelis Equity Partners, which purchased it in 2019.
