Tech group Bluprintx on the acquisition trail after Palatine investment and deal for ITG Commerce

A growing tech firm looking to expand globally has made a key acquisition after securing investment from private equity group Palatine.

Bluprintx, which is based in Liverpool and has operations in the US, Netherlands and Australia, has won a “significant investment” from Palatine’s buyout fund. Following that deal, Bluprintx has acquired commerce specialist, ITG Commerce in what it says is the latest “in a series of acquisitions aimed at adding service capability across Bluprintx's core operating geographies”.

Digital transformation consultancy Bluprintx aims to help clients grow revenue and productivity through technology, data and AI solutions, focusing on Adobe and Salesforce tech. It says the backing from Palatine will allow it to consider more merger and acquisition opportunities.

ITG has operations in the US and Hungary and is a specialist in Adobe’s commerce platform, Adobe Commerce. The acquisition gives Bluprintx “additional capability in the Adobe ecosystem” and means the group now has more than 140 employees globally.

Lee Hackett, founder and CEO of Bluprintx said: "Palatine’s backing is instrumental for Bluprintx as we continue to expand
