Verso Capital plans to acquire part of the BMS and Fire & Security service business from Schneider Electric
Helsinki, Finland, 26 August, 2025 – Verso Capital, a Nordic private equity company specialized in carve-out investments, announced today its plan to acquire Schneider Electric’s Fire & Security (F&S) and parts of its Building Management System (BMS) project business from design to commissioning and service in Norway, Sweden, and Finland that Schneider Electric is exploring selling off.
The potential transaction is subject to customary approvals and is expected to be completed in Q1 2026. Customer experience and support, as well as business continuity, remain the focus throughout the potential transition to ensure that there will not be any disruptions to service or delivery at any point in time.
If realized, the separation of Schneider Electric’s Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish F&S and partly BMS operations, would form a new, independent company, and a leading Nordic System Integrator for Fire & Security and Building Management Systems. The company would become one of Schneider Electric’s largest EcoXpert™ partners in Europe, ensuring excellent technology expertise and loyal and long-standing customer partnerships with easy access to Schneider Electric’s technologies and innovation.
“This transformation would create a company with great people and excellent expertise as a foundation for the success of our existing and new customers. Our employees, our customers and our technology partners would benefit from increased specialization, a unique local presence and focus on their specific needs”, says Thomas Träger, CEO of business to be carved out.
“With increasing local agility and geographical proximity to customers, the new independent entity would be well positioned to serve existing and new customers with the highest standards of technology and people expertise in the dynamic Nordic market. As a Nordic private equity investor specializing in carve-outs and Management Buyouts, we see a great potential in the partnership with Schneider Electric and the development and growth of the business together with the new management and highly skilled employees of the business”, says Marko Järvinen, Partner at Verso Capital, Finland.
Neither Schneider Electric nor Verso Capital will comment on the potential financial aspect of the intended transaction.
