22 September 2021: Learnlight, the global language, intercultural skills and soft skills training provider, has acquired Georgal, a leading Mexican corporate language training company.
This investment in growth, backed by Beech Tree Private Equity and Learnlight’s management team, continues their series of acquisitions in different key markets such as the UK, France and Germany as part of their global strategic expansion. Learnlight proved with the acquisition of IBE in January 2021, it can successfully digitally transform more traditional training businesses, thus benefiting from the combination of their deep regional market knowledge and the innovative product suite brought by Learnlight.
An Acquisition Based on a True Partnership
From its headquarters in Mexico City, Georgal provides corporate training solutions to different multinationals with a presence in Mexico and Latin America. Its client portfolio includes Bimbo, BBVA, Nestlé and Bolsa Mexicana.
Georgal has a formidable reputation and we have worked closely together for quite some time, to deliver the best training solutions possible to companies throughout the region.
Benjamin Joseph, CEO of Learnlight, said: “Georgal has a formidable reputation and we have worked closely together for quite some time, to deliver the best training solutions possible to companies throughout the region. This is a huge milestone for Learnlight and demonstrates our commitment to growth. We are now more ready than ever to support companies in Mexico and LATAM with their corporate training needs, wherever they are on their digital transformation journey.”
Jorge Galindo, CEO of Georgal shares: “We have been working with Learnlight for more than 10 years and are excited to join the family. We see this acquisition as a great opportunity to grow in Latin America by combining our teams and expertise, to become the leader in the market for quality corporate language training solutions. The technology and expertise that Learnlight has, will benefit our existing clients and prospects.”
As more and more people work from home, the shift to digital and virtual learning is rising. Learnlight has been pioneering these solutions for over a decade and is excited to support companies in Mexico to ideally prepare their workforce to work across multilingual and multicultural teams.
