The transaction will bolster growth strategies of both the organizations, creating a top player in the $300 billion contact center and CX industry and enhancing the value proposition for new and existing clients alike.


About Sitel Group:


Sitel Group is a leading global provider of CX and contact center products and services. The company has c.165,000 employees across the globe carrying out over 8 million customer interactions everyday in over 50 languages.

Its clientele includes digital-native and vertical-leading brands.


The company has LTM revenues of $1.9bn and LTM EBITDA of $199m.


It is headquartered in Luxembourg, Luxembourg.


Transaction rationale:


The merger of Sitel Group and Majorel will create a new global leader in the CX industry.


The merged entity will have over 240,000 employees across 55 countries speaking over 70 languages and supporting over 1,000 customers across all major verticals.


The enterprise value of the merged entity is $10.1bn with pro-forma revenues of $6.4bn in 2021.


Majorel legacy shareholders would represent 43.9% and the Sitel legacy shareholders would represent 56.1% of the combined entity.
