Tilleghem Acquires Nova Reperta

Tilleghem has announced its acquisition of a stake in Nova Reperta, a consulting firm specializing in efficiency improvement, strategy, customer orientation, and operational and digital transformation. The transaction, made public on February 25, 2026, marks the exit of French investment fund Ardian, which had joined Nova Reperta as a minority shareholder in mid-2021, and was led by M&A advisor VDP.

Originally focused on consulting within the services sector, Nova Reperta has expanded into more operationally intensive environments, including fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) such as food. Operating from offices in Brussels and Amsterdam, the firm supports clients across Europe and beyond, including Euroclear Bank, Elia Group, Toyota, Ayvens, Ethias, and Partena Professional.

Nova Reperta generates approximately €20 million in annual revenue and achieves a gross operating profit of around €6 million, with a team of about 70 professionals. The company is known for helping organizations translate strategy into execution and achieve measurable business impact.

The group also includes sister company Nova Ventura, which focuses on digital transformations. Nova Ventura helps organizations better align business and technology strategies, addressing challenges such as rising IT costs, limited scalability of technology initiatives, and insufficient business impact despite heavy digital investment.

The transaction represents a logical next step in the evolution of Nova Reperta’s shareholder structure and aligns with the firm’s long-term strategic vision. Management has reinvested, ensuring continuity, while preparing the next generation of leadership and appointing four new partners. Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

With Tilleghem joining as a new shareholder, Nova Reperta and Nova Ventura aim to enter their next growth phase, further strengthening their combined capabilities in strategy, operations, and digital transformation to meet increasing market demand.
