LONDON: HgCapital Trust plc (HgT), announced an investment in CTAIMA and e-coordina, who join forces to create leading Iberian contractor management, risk and compliance software platform.

HgT will invest approximately £11.5 million in CTAIMA and e-coordina, with other institutional clients of Hg investing alongside HgT through the Hg Mercury 4 Fund.

Headquartered in Tarragona, Spain, CTAIMA was founded in 2003 as a consulting firm providing legal and health & safety advice. Today the business has evolved into an international SaaS platform and provider of contractor management software, with one of the largest global networks of contractors and suppliers, seamlessly connecting over 100,000 contractors and subcontractors, with over 1,000 clients across 17 countries worldwide.

Lorenzo Zavala, co-CEO of CTAIMA, said: “Our mission is to empower professionals to create safer and more responsible organisations, with a commitment to every individual managing these risks. Bringing CTAIMA and e-coordina together will create a contractor compliance champion in Spain and Portugal, with a highly complementary product suite and one of the largest combined networks in the region, connecting 2,000 buyers with over 160,000 suppliers across Iberia.”

Luis de los Santos, co-CEO of CTAIMA, said: “This is a very exciting day for us and an important milestone for both CTAIMA and e-coordina. We are grateful to our teams, customers and partners, who have been key in our trajectory of growth over the last two decades and with whom we’ll continue partnering to help organisations become safer, more responsible and more sustainable. Hg is a world-class software investor and their support and experience will help us to reinforce this mission, enhancing our service offerings and expanding into new regions.”

Founded in 2007 and based in San Sebastian, e-coordina is a leading provider of contractor management software and services in Spain, providing customers with supplier and external worker compliance management & access control, as well as management of occupational risk prevention.

Iñigo Martinez, founder of e-coordina, said: “We’re really excited about joining forces with CTAIMA to create the best platform in Iberia, bringing more innovation to benefit our many thousands of buyers and suppliers, who are fulfilling highly critical services every day.”

CTAIMA has experienced rapid growth in recent years, driven by its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. Hg’s investment will further support this growth and expansion into new countries across Europe, enhancing its product offering – including the integration of GenAI – and reinforce CTAIMA’s position as a leading provider of environmental, risk and safety management software.

Christopher Fielding, Partner and Louis Kinsella, Director at Hg, said: “Hg has been investing in legal and compliance software for over two decades. This experience enabled us to identify CTAIMA and e-coordina as high-quality businesses with enormous potential to expand in this sector. We are also delighted to invest in our first Spanish software platform and look forward to working with Lorenzo, Luis and their stellar management team.”
