OC&C advises a leading Italian provider of environmental monitoring services ahead of its sale

We’re pleased to congratulate Orion Group on their recent agreement with PAI’s PAI MMF II, which has acquired the majority of the company. Orion Group is a leading Italian provider of environmental monitoring services. OC&C supported the Orion Group sellside and the selling shareholder, Xenon Private Equity.

Originally founded in 1988 and headquartered in Padova, Italy, Orion has rapidly grown into a multi-specialist environmental solutions platform. They offer integrated services across four verticals: water, air quality, emissions control, and technical asset optimisation. The company operates 13 branches across Italy, serving over 1,000 clients, including public administrations, utilities and corporates.

As a key enabler for sustainable transition, Orion helps organisations monitor and improve their environmental performance to meet evolving ESG requirements. Its advanced monitoring systems, engineering expertise and long-term maintenance services support environmental protection and sustainable development across Italy.  In recent years, Orion has implemented a proven buy-and-build strategy, bringing together six complementary businesses to create a unified national platform.

With PAI’s support, Orion will pursue further strategic acquisitions. We wish Orion Group every success in the future.
