Henko portfolio development in 2024

Madrid, January 28th, 2025 – A summary of key topics regarding portfolio development of 2024.

Astrum

Astrum reinforced the leadership team with key appointments, including Tina Kroner as CEO and Caroline Jackson as COO, supported by other key management roles. These reinforcements enhance our cross-country service capabilities and build on recent client success stories in Europe. We’re also proud to share that our Phase I unit in Porto has renewed INVISA certification, the only one in Europe with this status, reflecting our dedication to upholding the highest quality standards.

Linkroad

Linkroad has strengthened its leadership, highlighted by the appointment of Juan Manuel Rebollo as Chairman of the Board and the addition of Javier Alvarez for business development in Spain. These moves coincide with the launch of Linkroad brand, after the successful investments in Bemobile and Consultia, positioning us as a key digital services provider in Iberia. Looking ahead to 2025, we will deepen our footprint in Iberia — focusing on Data, AI & hyper-automation, and expand internationally. We have already seen early wins through collaborative projects, including landmark GRC technology consulting and implementation with major insurance companies in Spain.

Defeder

Defeder has introduced new leadership with the appointments of Pablo Montañes as CEO, Michael Brinkmann as Chairman of the Board, and Carlos Sanchez as CFO. The recent acquisition of Samagro marks an expansion into the Belgian market while broadening Defeder’s product portfolio. Additionally, the factory in Spain has been expanded, to support additional projected growth in new product categories.

Voltan

Voltan has made significant progress in the integration of the group companies completed with outstanding performance, achieving an organic growth of approximately 50% compared to 2023. The integration of Atlas, a specialised technological provider in aerial inspection of high-voltage transmission lines using LiDAR and machine learning technologies, has further enhanced the T&D division’s service offering. Voltan expanded into Madrid with a new office solidifying the company’s position as the Group’s HQ.

Revergy

Revery has seen an influx of experienced talent in management positions with the appointment of Javier Coloma as the new CEO, completing the leadership transition plan defined with the founder, Íñigo Vázquez. Javier brings over 25 years of experience in the energy sector, having held executive roles at Ingeteam, as well as key positions at industry-leading company STI Norland. Additionally, Jorge Magán has joined the board, bringing over 20 years of experience in the renewable energy sector, and previously having lead Ingeteam’s services division. The company achieved a key milestone in 2024 through the acquisition of Tamoin’s wind O&M division, strengthening the company’s position across the wind sector value chain. This acquisition enables Revergy to incorporate highly qualified maintenance services, from corrective campaigns and blade repairs to the supply of spare parts and components.

Quadrante

Quadrante bolstered the management team with Pedro Guerreiro joining as CFO, bringing extensive experience both in the sector and in buy-and-build PE-backed projects. The integration of Meta Engineering has been a great strategic success, positioning the group as a market leader in the Iberian Peninsula. The company has surpassed €100m in revenues and now employees over 1,100 people.
