Fort Worth, Texas;  San Francisco; and Ulm, Germany – January 29, 2019– Transporeon Group  (“Transporeon” or “the company”), a leading global cloud-based business network  for industrial logistics, today announced that Hg has entered into a definitive  agreement to acquire a majority interest in the company from existing investor TPG  Capital (“TPG”), the private equity platform of global alternative asset firm  TPG. Terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.

 Headquartered in Ulm, Germany, Transporeon is the leading  cloud-based logistics platform, linking manufacturers, retailers, and  wholesalers with logistics service providers via the largest network of its  kind. The group digitizes the entire logistics supply chain, providing  software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions that connect a global network of over  1,000 shippers and trading companies, almost 90,000 carriers, and over 100,000  users in over 100 countries.

 TPG invested in Transporeon in 2016. Throughout the  partnership, TPG supported management in expanding the company internationally,  doubling its investment into research and development, and growing its suite of  platform-enabled visibility, data and data-related products both organically  and through the acquisition of market intelligence provider TIM Consult in  2018.

 "We are delighted with the progress that Transporeon  has made over recent years,” said Marc-Oliver Simon, co-founder and CEO of  Transporeon. “Today we have one of the world’s leading networks for logistics  connectivity offering best-in-class execution, visibility, and data products to  more customers than ever before.”

  "Our partnership with TPG has been hugely rewarding and  their experience in developing software companies has been very beneficial to  Transporeon’s continued momentum,” said Martin Mack, co-founder and CTO of  Transporeon. “We now look forward to working with Hg on the next step of our journey.”

 "In Transporeon we saw an opportunity to partner with a  strong management team to invest in a company that was well-positioned to  emerge as a leader in the rapidly growing supply chain technology space, a  sector that we’ve been closely following for many years,” said Malte Janzarik,  Partner at TPG Capital. “It has been a pleasure working with the entire  Transporeon team and we wish them all the best for the future.”

TPG’s technology team invests across a variety of  high-growth sectors globally. Select current and past investments include C3  IoT, EverFi, LLamasoft, Noodle.ai, Transplace, Wind River, and Zscaler.
