Marathon Software has acquired Sweden’s Omborddata AB and Finland’s Panasoft Oy. Together they now form the leading Nordic provider of specialised software for crew management and payroll administration for the maritime industry. Through the acquisitions, two industry-leading companies with deep domain expertise are brought together under common ownership. Omborddata and Panasoft have market-leading products in Sweden and Finland respectively.
The partnership with Marathon as new majority owner means that the companies gain a long-term partner that contributes additional expertise and resources to support the business in product and technology development.
Founders and key people in both companies remain and become co-owners of the new group. At the same time, new expertise is added to the group as Christer Bruzelius joins the board. Christer has extensive experience from senior positions within Nordic shipping and was previously, among other roles, CEO of Destination Gotland.
