Evicertia’s product portfolio ideally complements Namirial’s digital trust services.

With Evicertia’s offices in Spain, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru, Namirial will also have a stronger presence in the strategic markets of the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America.

Three months after the acquisition of NetheosEvicertia represents Namirial ‘s second international acquisition sinceAmbienta acquired a majority stake in May 2020. In 2021, Namirial achieved a turnover of more than 70 million euros, showing an organic growth of more than 20%, thanks to solid investments in management, organization, products and distribution. The M&A strategy, which aims to further accelerate growth in international markets, is proving effective.
