The company focuses primarily on multi-plant industrial launderers active in various industries, predominantly healthcare, hospitality and industrial verticals, such as construction and manufacturing.

Olle Backman, CEO at Vitec Software Group AB, said: "We are delighted to welcome 140 new employees today and to significantly grow our presence in the Netherlands. ABS is a profitable, well-managed company with an operation that is a good fit with our business model and corporate culture. Oaklins’ guidance and support, by leveraging on their deep software expertise, played a fundamental role throughout the acquisition process."
