With SIM Secure Information Management GmbH in Rhineland-Palatinate and ATECS AG Advance-Technology-Solutions in Switzerland, euromicron is acquiring a majority stake (80% in each case) in two manufacturing businesses that are leaders when it comes to producing and offering professional video, audio, telecommunications and security technology solutions. SIM has operated successfully in the security technology market for more than 20 years. The two companies cooperate closely with industrial companies, national and international ministries and public authorities. Both companies have a high reputation and extensive experience in integrating complex technical systems and in project management. Backed by years of experience, they develop, tailored product and system solutions that meet all security requirements, such as laser-based video surveillance systems, automatic sign recognition, mobile mesh networks, tap-proof mobile communications and radiation-proof building infrastructures for mobile and fixed-line communication via fiber optics. The acquisition gives euromicron immediate opportunities to expand existing customer relationships in the sensitive field of national and international protection, security and defense technology. In addition, euromicron will extend its know-how base in the area of highly professional video and security technology for special applications and markets, with the possibility of technology transfer to 'applications with particularly high requirements'. It also gives euromicron synergy potentials and the possibility of expanding the existing product portfolio of its manufacturing companies in international markets. The companies generate sales in the lower double-digit million euro range. The purchase price is in the single-digit millions. The existing managing partners and company founders will continue to manage the group and remain co-shareholders with a 10% stake each. 'By acquiring SIM GmbH and ATECS AG (CH), two established companies that operate worldwide in more than 40 countries in the field of highly professional security and surveillance technologies, we will contribute further know-how of importance to market and technological development to the euromicron Group. We see the acquisition as an important component as part of our corporate strategy of expanding our high-margin manufacturing operations,' said Dr. Willibald Späth, Chairman of the Executive Board. euromicron AG (www.euromicron.de) is an all-round solution provider for communications, transport, data and security networks. euromicron's network infrastructures integrate voice, video and data transport wirelessly, via copper cable and by means of fiber-optic technologies. euromicron builds leading applications, such as security, control, healthcare or surveillance systems, on the basis of these cutting-edge network infrastructures.
