Transaction signed in June, antitrust clearance achieved
Madrid, 25th October 2023.- Today Portobello Capital, the leading independent midmarket private equity manager based in Spain, announced it has closed the sale of
Grupo CTC to Randstad NV, the world’s largest talent company.
Grupo CTC provides outsourced industrial, logistics and sales & marketing services to
customers in its home market of Spain and in Portugal. The company currently operates
from 14 regional offices and 11 owned logistics facilities, servicing over 200 customers.
Demand for outsourcing services is growing significantly in Spain and, with the proposed
acquisition, Randstad will continue to expand its leadership presence in the region. The
move is in keeping with Randstad’s broader strategic objective of strengthening its
capabilities in value added services for customers in key markets.
“We are investors in the different companies which are now part of CTC since 2006.
During this period, CTC has become the absolute leader in the outsourcing market, and
we want to compliment Juan-Cruz Alcalde and the rest of the management team for
growing this organization to date. We are absolutely convinced that as part of Randstad,
Grupo CTC will continue to accelerate and deliver excellence to its customers in Spain
and Portugal.”
— Luis Peñarrocha, Founding Partner of Portobello
The transaction was signed in July and completion was subject to antitrust clearance,
which was achieved on October 11th.
