Background

Founded in 2004, Netadmin Systems provides Operational Support Systems (OSS) to Communication Service Providers (CSP’s) launching fiber networks.

Since 2006, the business was been owned by multiple Scandinavian VC’s Venture Capital investment funds and the company expanded its customer base to more than 70 CSP’s ranging from small regional municipal fiber to the home (FTTH) operators to much larger FTTH business units of major Tier 1 convergent CSP’s. Due to advantageous regulatory environments and open access network policy, the company focused their efforts on several strong FTTH markets in Northern Europe where they now have high market share including Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.

“Our acquisition by Lumine gives us the ability to grow and take advantage of a wealth of best practices shared across its portfolio of companies. We are very excited about our business potential and feel secure that we can now make necessary investments for long-term sustainability with the financial backing of the Lumine Group.”

- OLLE HILLSTROM, Former CEO, Netadmin Systems
