Summary
The PEI Private Equity roundup, written by Craig McGlashan and published via PE Hub Wire, covers three European private equity deals in the TMT and industrial sectors. The most prominent is Thoma Bravo's growth investment in Padoa, a European provider of occupational health, safety and prevention software. The source identifies Padoa as a tech-enabled platform serving employers' workplace health and safety compliance needs.

Apheon has also invested in Easi, a software and IT services business. The original article provides limited detail on deal size, ownership stakes or the specific terms of the transaction, and those figures are not available in the source material.

Ambienta has taken a stake in a flavor producer. As with the Apheon transaction, the source does not disclose the valuation, stake size or other financial terms of the investment.

Taken together, the three transactions reflect continued private equity interest in software and IT services assets alongside traditional manufacturing targets. Readers seeking deal values or sponsor-level detail should consult the original PEI or PE Hub Wire coverage.
