TableAir gets investment from the Danish strategic investor

TableAir, office tech startup, Midform Holding ApS, Danish holding of furniture solutions companies, and a venture capital firm Practica Capital, signed an agreement, according to which the Danish group will invest an undisclosed amount in the Lithuanian startup.

The investment is a good example of corporate venture capital investment when an industrial holding of established companies invests in a small but innovative company to gain a specific competitive advantage. It is the result of long-nurtured cooperation between all participating parties. The partnership will secure TableAir a stronghold in the smart sit-standing desk office, workspace and property tech fields.

“We are excited TableAir received an investment from Midform Holding ApS. I trust TableAir technological acumen will enrich their products. We see the strategic partnership as an important milestone that will empower us to adapt quickly to the market needs and build on many years of the group experience,” said Lukas Lukoševičius, TableAir’s co-founder and CEO.

The Midform Holding ApS group consists of several companies, all focusing on a workplace industry. The group is present with furniture solutions all over the world. In 2016/17 its EBITDA reached the level of 19.2M DKK. Bringing TableAir to the group will accelerate the digitalization of workspace experience that is offered to both Midform Holding ApS and TableAir clients.

“I’m thrilled that TableAir, and its electronics engineering and software development team is joining Midform Group. The new addition will allow us to move more agile in an era of workspace digitalization,” said Claus Hanson, CEO of Midform Holding ApS. 

TableAir since its launch in 2015 has already raised over €0.7M investments from venture capital firm Practica Capital and angel investors.

“TableAir has developed a sophisticated and novel technology around productivity and wellness at a workplace and with Midform Group gains fast-track access to the global client base. We see a good alignment on the vision with the new partner and are looking forward to the new stage in the company’s development,“ stated Arvydas Bložė, Investment manager at Practica Capital.
