Trablisa

Trablisa – Transportes Blindados S.A. has completed the acquisition of a majority stake in the private security company Esegur – Empresa de Segurança S.A. The transaction was closed in September 2022.

Esegur, a company founded in 1994, is Portugal´s market leader in Cash management and transportation services and provides a comprehensive offering of integrated security services.

Trablisa is a Spanish-owned family company, founded in 1975 and is a leading supplier of a wide range of security and protection equipment and services, from physical security to cash management services. The company is currently among Spain’s top five companies in the sector, with over 10,000 employees. Trablisa was already present in Portugal after the company took over the Electronic Security Business Unit in Spain and Portugal from the Swedish multinational Gunnebo in November 2020. This acquisition will underpin Trablisa´s strategic positioning and integrated offering to its clients in Iberia, is a steppingstone in the continuing internationalization of the Group, with operations now in Spain, Mexico, and Portugal and a commitment to becoming a leading global supplier of comprehensive security solutions.

The team at Liberdade Capital, operating under Bluemint Capital Advisors at the time, acted as the exclusive buy-side advisor to Trablisa in Portugal.
