Plain Concepts, a leading technology services company specialising in solving complex problems for businesses worldwide, has completed its second acquisition with the integration of Ardanis into its portfolio. Ardanis is an Ireland and UK based firm renowned for its expertise in AI, bespoke software development and digital solutions.
With this move, Plain Concepts strengthens its focus on cutting‑edge innovation and artificial intelligence as key drivers of business growth. The acquisition also brings Ardanis’ deep expertise in the regulated services sector, particularly in fintech and insurtech, propelling Plain Concepts to consolidate and expand its vertical capabilities in this space.
With its strategic plan to double in size year-on-year, Plain Concepts continues to pursue inorganic growth. By integrating an innovative business such as Ardanis, who share their values and technological DNA, Plain Concepts reinforces its market positioning and broadens its capacity to deliver innovative, high-value solutions on a global scale.
Quique Martínez, CEO of Plain Concepts, said:
“The acquisition of Ardanis represents a key strategic step for Plain Concepts. We share their technological vision and their commitment to bespoke digital solutions. Beyond this, there is a strong cultural alignment between our companies – a shared passion for customer success, rigour in delivery, and caring for people as the foundation of our business. This cultural fit is, ultimately, the true engine behind this integration.”
The addition adds over 50 talented professionals to the Plain Concepts team and strengthens its footprint in the Irish, UK, Portugese, and other European markets. Supported by new offices and local teams in Dublin, London and Porto complementing its established presence in Spain, the company consolidates its multinational profile and strengthens its delivery capabilities across Southern Europe.
While Spain remains the company’s main market, Europe and the United States continue to grow as strategic regions for expansion.
Ivan Goor CEO at Ardanis, commented:
“I am thrilled that Ardanis has joined forces with Plain Concepts. This represents a significant milestone for Ardanis and for our growth ambitions.
With Plain Concepts, we are expanding and leveraging our combined technical expertise and strength in AI and technology delivery, amplifying our ability to meet the needs of our ever‑growing customer base across Ireland, the UK, and Europe.
Importantly, this partnership is a positive step forward not only for our clients, who will now benefit from an even broader range of skills, solutions, and expertise, but also for our people. It opens up exciting new opportunities for professional growth, collaboration, and innovation within our teams.
We have always succeeded – and will continue to succeed – where others have failed and by uniting with Plain Concepts we are building a technology leader positioned to deliver superlative AI and digital solutions across Europe and beyond.”
From a technical perspective, this integration broadens Plain Concepts’ expertise in programming languages such as .Net, Angular, React, TypeScript, Python and Node JS, amongst others, significantly strengthening Plain Concepts’ ability to tackle increasingly complex international projects with a deep technical focus and marks an important milestone in Plain Concepts’ journey towards becoming a fully European organisation.
