STOCKHOLM--EQT said it will acquire a majority stake in AMCS, a supplier of software for the waste management and recycling industries.

The Swedish buyout group said Wednesday that following the acquisition, the co-founder, management, and existing investors Insight Partners, Clearlake Capital, Highland Europe and the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund will retain minority stakes.

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Ireland, AMCS serves resource-intensive industries, including waste management, recycling, transportation, manufacturing, and utilities, providing software that helps deliver increased performance and efficiency while supporting sustainability goals and regulatory requirements.

The transaction is subject to customary conditions and approvals and is expected to close before the first quarter of 2025.

Financial terms weren't disclosed but with this deal the EQT X fund is expected to be 40%-45% invested, it said.
