• DigitalSign is the leading company in the Portuguese electronic signature and digital certification market and one of the most important in the Brazilian market.
  • DigitalSign has more than 180 employees between Portugal and Brazil. The two groups, together, will add up to a joint turnover of more than 30M euros per year.
  • With this union, Logalty will start offering its products and services in Portugal and Brazil, while DigitalSign will do the same in the Spanish market.

Madrid, June 28th, 2022 – Logalty, a leading company in the legaltech sector in Spain with technological solutions for identification, notification and electronic contracting, and DigitalSign, leader in Portugal and one of the main players in Brazil in the issuance and management of digital certificates, have reached an agreement to integrate under a single group. This union will result in the creation of the leading group in the Digital Transaction Management (DTM) sector in Iberia and one of the main players in Europe.

After this merger, both companies will maintain their autonomous management and will expand their range of products and services. DigitalSign will offer its range of services and solutions in Spain through Logalty, while Logalty will offer its solutions through DigitalSign in Portugal and Brazil. The founders of DigitalSign, Fernando Moreira and Alvaro Matos, will continue to lead the business in Portugal and Brazil, while Maria Dolores Pescador will continue to lead the group in Spain. With this union, the group will increase its annual turnover to over 30 million euros.

DigitalSign, founded in 2001, has more than 180 direct employees between Portugal and Brazil and offers a complete range of solutions and services in the areas of digital identity and onboarding, digital certificates and electronic signature to help organizations digitize all business processes with a simple, efficient, state-of-the-art and tailor-made technology for different sectors: from banking to retail, healthcare and public services, among others. The company’s goal, in line with the objective of the Logalty Group in Spain, is to promote compliance, security, trust and sustainability by accelerating the digital transformation of companies.

In this sense, Fernando Moreira and Alvaro Matos, founders of DigitalSign, comment that “we are very motivated by this union with Logalty because of the new growth opportunities in new markets that it offers and the complementary product offering that will strengthen our leadership. We have the best expectations in this joint work and great confidence in the Logalty team.”

Maria Dolores Pescador, CEO of Logalty Group, states that “This is a very important day for Logalty because it represents a step forward in our growth outside Spain. We have always had the purpose of helping our customers to accelerate their digital evolution and we could not think of a better union to expand this purpose to new territories than hand in hand with DigitalSign. Our union strengthens the positioning of both companies in Iberia, Europe and Latam, and will create numerous synergies for our clients, to whom we provide new services and products in Spain, while approaching a whole new market in Europe and South America.”

Following the acquisitions of RegTech Solutions and SmartBiometrik, this transaction represents a further step in the growth strategy that MCH Private Equity, together with Ardian Growth and Swen Capital Partners, have for the company. It also marks a further step in the Group’s commitment to digital evolution and innovation by integrating services that will complement those already offered by Logalty.
