Amsterdam, 15 July 2025 – Global law firm Hogan Lovells is advising the lenders supporting the acquisition of NMi Group by Bridgepoint, a leading global private asset growth investor.
Bridgepoint has agreed to acquire NMi Group, a premier Dutch Testing, Inspection, Certification, and Calibration (TICC) business, from Levine Leichtman Capital Partners (LLCP) following a highly competitive auction. The transaction marks a significant milestone in NMi’s growth journey and underscores continued investor interest in the European TICC sector. The acquisition will be financed by Park Square Capital and SMBC Group.
Founded in 1937 and headquartered in Delft, the Netherlands, NMi is a trusted provider of mission-critical assurance services across sectors including electric vehicle infrastructure, smart metering, medical devices, and mobile payment technologies. Under LLCP’s ownership, NMi has experienced transformative growth, quadrupling its revenue and expanding its workforce from 80 to over 300 employees through a successful buy-and-build strategy.
The financing structure reflects strong lender confidence in NMi’s resilient business model, robust growth trajectory, and Bridgepoint’s strategic vision for the company.
The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals.
The Hogan Lovells team includes Amsterdam-based partner Wouter Jongen, counsel Douglas Gibbs and senior associate Art van der Pols; and London-based partner Paul Mullen and senior associate Thomas Nickols.
