CTT has bought NewSpring Services and the holding company HCCM – Outsourcing Investment for €7 million, the Portuguese company said in a statement sent Wednesday to the Securities and Exchange Commission (CMVM). This transaction “is part of CTT’s portfolio diversification strategy,” it reads.

The deal involves two companies that operate in the business process outsourcing (BPO) and contact centre market, with “earnouts agreed, depending on the company’s activity over the 2 years following the closing date, based on the achievement of pre-defined objectives for NewSpring Services, including EBITDA targets,” the document said.
