Cathay Capital has acquired a majority stake in Equadis, a SaaS company specializing in product data management for consumer goods companies. The Paris-based firm serves over 600 customers including major brands like Procter & Gamble, Unilever and Nestlé, operating across more than 20 countries in food, beverage, beauty and personal care sectors.

Equadis offers an AI-powered 'Closed-Loop' suite that promises up to 70% time savings through automation while maintaining 98% catalog quality compliance. This technology addresses growing regulatory demands for accurate product information across global markets. Existing shareholders and the management team are reinvesting alongside Cathay Capital, signaling confidence in future growth.

The deal reflects rising investor appetite for specialized data management platforms amid increasing digital transformation pressure on consumer packaged goods companies. Equadis helps brands streamline product information across complex distribution channels and regulatory environments. This represents Cathay Capital's continued push into enterprise software and data services.

With existing investors doubling down, the acquisition positions Equadis to expand its international footprint while capitalizing on stricter product data regulations worldwide.
