Private invest­ment house Ard­i­an entered into an agree­ment to invest in the Swiss Flow­able Hold­ing AG and its sub­si­di­ar­ies (MFG) along­side the man­age­ment team, led by CEO Agim Emruli.

With Flow­able, it also offers its own low-code soft­ware plat­form for the auto­ma­tion and digit­al­iz­a­tion of busi­ness pro­cesses. MFG has more than 500 employ­ees across 10 loc­a­tions world­wide, includ­ing in Switzer­land, Ger­many, Spain, the USA, Poland and Singa­pore.
