Overview
Cipal Schaubroeck is one of the most deeply embedded software companies in Belgian public administration. The company provides software and digital services to local governments across Flanders, covering citizen services, administrative workflows, finance, and social services. With 276 municipalities as clients, Cipal Schaubroeck serves the overwhelming majority of Flemish local governments.
The company generates approximately EUR 110M in annual revenue, a scale that reflects the breadth of services delivered across Belgian public administration. Its products are mission-critical, deeply integrated into municipal workflows, and carry high switching costs.
Topicus, the European operating subsidiary of Constellation Software, acquired Cipal Schaubroeck in June 2025. Constellation Software is the Toronto-listed acquirer known for buying and holding market-leading vertical market software businesses permanently. Cipal Schaubroeck fits Constellation's investment criteria precisely: dominant market position, recurring revenues, mission-critical product, and a niche vertical with high barriers to entry.

Bedankt aan Sarah (Lokaal bestuur Boom), Laurens (Cipal Schaubroeck), Carl (Syntegro) en alle deelnemende steden & gemeenten voor de boeiende voormiddag! 🙏

- Voor het What's Up event van de Cipal Schaubroeck groep mochten we awards maken die in een plenaire show in een Elisabeth Center Antwerpen uitgereikt werden. Deze zeven verschillende trofeeën zijn gemaakt met een combi van lasercutting en multicolour 3DP. Dit soort awards kunnen op enkele dagen tijd gemaakt worden - maar we kunnen er ook langer over doen indien gewenst 😁 #3dprintingservice #marketing #award
