Mergemarket Buys Inframation for Market Intelligence Service

Investor intelligence publisher Mergermarket has acquired Inframation Group, which provides information to the global infrastructure finance community, through a combination of news, market intelligence, research, and industry data. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Through its offices in London and New York, Inframation Group provides real-time business and market intelligence for individuals and companies working in infrastructure finance, and currently has more than 500 corporate subscribers.

In addition, the company organises five major infrastructure finance conferences a year, three in Europe and two in New York.

Pearson-owned Mergermarket says that the merger will broaden its own product offering into the infrastructure sector, while complementing its global portfolio of products such as mergermarket, dealReporter and Debtwire.

Richard Kenton, founder and CEO of Inframation Group comments: 'We are tremendously excited about working with the team at Mergermarket to build a truly global business intelligence platform for our client base. Infrastructure remains a growing asset and we look forward to continuing to meet the information needs of our diverse and sophisticated subscribers.'

Following the acquisition, Inframation Group will continue to provide a stand-alone service to its clients.
