Vesta Software Group is pleased to announce that, as of 1st January 2026, we have merged with Jonas Europe, bringing our two organisations together under the Vesta brand as one aligned and future-focused structure.
This step forms part of our long-term strategy to strengthen operational efficiency across Europe and ensure the ongoing sustainability of both groups. As sister portfolios within the wider Jonas Software and Constellation Software Inc. family, Vesta and Jonas Europe have always shared a common ethos – one rooted in long-term thinking, community and a deep respect for the people who power our businesses. This merger simply makes that shared foundation official and comes at a time when both groups have the scale and maturity to benefit from closer alignment.
Today, Vesta Software Group operates across Europe and Latin America, with a continued focus on expansion throughout both regions. Combined with Jonas Europe, our newly formed group now encompasses over 60 business units and more than 3,000 employees worldwide – a milestone that reflects both our scale and our ongoing commitment to developing exceptional software businesses.
What this means for our vendors, partners and future acquisitions
For our current and future vendors, this change does not alter what Vesta stands for. Our commitment to a “buy and hold” philosophy, to empowering great people and to investing in strong software businesses for the long term remains unwavering. These principles have always been central to who we are, and they continue unchanged.
By bringing our groups together, we are creating a stronger hub for collective learning, knowledge sharing and cross-portfolio collaboration, enabling new opportunities for innovation, benchmarking and operational synergies. As market needs evolve at pace, this structure enables us to learn faster, support one another more deeply and grow more effectively.
Our business units will continue to enjoy the sense of community that already defines our teams. Many colleagues across Vesta and Jonas Europe have collaborated, shared insights and learned from one another in recent years. That cross-portfolio connection is one of the standout strengths of our culture, and this merger will only make it stronger.
A message from Richard Clancy, Group CEO
Vesta and Jonas Europe have grown side by side for many years, each supported by exceptional teams who care deeply about their customers and their craft. By formally bringing our groups together, we’re creating a more resilient, unified structure that supports our long-term vision for Europe and Latin America.
What will not change is who we are. Our people-first values, our commitment to buying, building and holding great software companies for the long-term, and the sense of belonging that makes our portfolio unique. These remain at the heart of everything we do.
I’m incredibly proud of what our teams have achieved so far, and I’m excited for what we will build together in the years ahead.
– Richard Clancy, Group CEO
Looking ahead
As we begin 2026, both groups will work closely to ensure a smooth and thoughtfully managed transition. For our vendors and customers, it’s business as usual, but with even greater alignment, stronger shared capabilities and a more unified presence across Europe and Latin America.
Looking to the future, we recognise that we are entering a new era for software development – one shaped by AI, automation and emerging technology. Together, we will explore how these tools can support our businesses, enhance productivity and unlock new value for our customers. This merger positions us to innovate faster and shape our role within the evolving software landscape.
At its core, this merger is about creating a stronger platform for long-term success, rooted firmly in the values that have guided us since day one.
