Investment history


Spain | 2020

In 2020, Sofina took a minority stake in SALTO, alongside existing shareholders such as Alantra and new investors such as Peninsula Capital and Florac, as part of a capital increase and a secondary transaction. The funds raised through this transaction allowed Salto to acquire Gantner Electronic Austria Holding GmbH, an Austrian company specialised in access systems, electronic locking and locker systems, cashless payment, cash register and billing systems, staff time recording systems as well as ticketing and management software for leisure facilities.
