Signicat is one of the fastest growing companies in Europe in a ranking by Financial Times. Revenues increased from EUR 24 million in 2019 to EUR 42 million last year. So far this year, the company has acquired two companies, Norwegian Encap Security and Spanish ElectronicIDentification (eID) enhancing its leadership position in the European RegTech market. Now, the company is announcing it has acquired Lithuanian Dokobit, the largest e-signature solutions provider in the Baltic market.
“Together, Dokobit and Signicat share a strong cultural, commercial and technological fit. With Dokobit, we will gain access to a fast-growing and exciting part of the European e-signature market which has been largely untapped, in addition to getting exceptional talent and technology. For us this is one more important step to continuously develop our customer value propositions across Europe,” says Signicat CEO Asger Hattel.
Dokobit is, like Signicat, expanding internationally. The company was founded in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2008, and has expanded to provide services also in Estonia, Latvia and Iceland. Similar to Signicat, it offers a broad range of e-signature solutions, from customer authentication to electronic signing, and it is an eIDAS certified Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) for e-signatures and e-seals validation. With the acquisition, Signicat is able to offer businesses broader coverage in the European market, for managing their customers’ electronic signing processes.
“In a rapidly expanding European e-signature market, in order to remain competitive, it is particularly important to act quickly. Even with the necessary knowledge and resources, the time to market of a product is one of the most important factors that can determine the company’s success and future prospects. Our goal has always been to conquer Europe, and together with Signicat we will be able to do so much faster. By using Signicat’s accumulated electronic identity tools, we will be able to focus our efforts on innovation and development of e-signing solutions,” says Gintas Balčiūnas, CEO at Dokobit. The transaction size is not made public. The deal was concluded with legal assistance from the law firms Wikborg Rein, Sorainen and Ellex.
