Ilder AS
Sale of Ilder to Nordlo Group
Saga Corporate Finance is pleased to have assisted the owners of Ilder in the 100% sale of the business to Nordlo Group, a Nordic provider of scalable IT operations, managed services, and outsourced digitalization solutions. Nordlo is majority owned by FSN Capital, a leading Northern European private equity investment firm.
Headquartered in Bergen, Ilder delivers tailored software development services across Western and Northern Norway, combining deep industrial expertise with advanced software capabilities to deliver mission-critical solutions. The company serves a strong base of blue-chip clients within the maritime, energy, and industrial sectors and has, since its founding in 2018, grown into an established IT services provider across Norway’s key industrial regions.
As part of Nordlo, Ilder will gain access to a larger platform, a broader customer base, and enhanced resources to accelerate its growth. Nordlo is a leading Nordic IT services provider with strong ambitions for continued expansion, and the acquisition of Ilder strengthens its capabilities within tailored software, integrations, and digital solutions, enabling the group to take on larger customer projects nationally.

"Ilder has experienced strong growth in recent years, attracting multiple inbound approaches from potential investors. Given the level of interest, we recognized the importance of running a structured and professional process and therefore decided to engage an M&A advisor. We ultimately selected Saga based on their software and consultancy expertise and their clear commitment to safeguarding both the financial and soft values of the company. From the beginning, Saga quickly gained a deep understanding of our business model and acted as a trusted advisor throughout the entire process.
As owners, our ambition was clear: to find the right partner to support Ilder’s continued growth, secure a strong and lasting home for our employees, and achieve a valuation that truly reflected the company’s long-term potential. Saga’s sector expertise, strategic guidance, negotiation skills, and ability to create competitive tension were critical in delivering these priorities and securing an excellent outcome. We are very pleased with the result and look forward to the next phase of the journey together with Nordlo and FSN Capital."
- Jon Arild Jacobsen, on behalf of the owners of Ilder.
