Mitie Group PLC - Glasgow-based engineering, security, and cleaning and hygiene services - Buys Grupo Visegurity, a security services provider based in Barcelona. Mitie will pay up to EUR11.0 million, including an initial EUR9.0 million and performance-linked deferred payments of up to EUR2.0 million. Visegurity recorded earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of EUR1.5 million on revenue of EUR18.0 million in 2023. It employs 600 people and has a license to operate across Spain. Visegurity focuses on manned guarding, alarm response, and access control, Mitie says.
"This acquisition significantly enhances our service offering in Spain, adding national security expertise and a broad customer base, to complement our existing relationships," explains Jose Luis Garcia Hurtado, managing director of Mitie Spain.
