IHSE announces the acquisition of IT security specialist kvm-tec. The IT company develops and distributes high-security KVM-over-IP solutions to extend and switch computer signals.
With the acquisition of kvm-tec, IHSE is accessing a worldwide KVMoIP customer base that will benefit from the international IHSE distribution network going forward, with offices in Germany, the USA, Singapore, and China. In addition to joint sales forces, the management of IHSE and kvm-tec sees further synergy potential in purchasing and production.
“With kvm-tec’s IP-based product portfolio, we are strengthening our strategic competitive position in the market for further growth. Now we offer the right KVM solution for every customer’s need. Our joint technology platform also means we are reinforcing our innovation capabilities in a rapidly changing market,” says Dr. Enno Littmann, CEO of IHSE. “Our international subsidiaries enable us to be close to our customers also. In the IT security space, local personal contacts are a key success factor,” adds Michael Spatny, managing director at IHSE.
Founder and CEO of kvm-tec Ing Dietmar Pfurtscheller will remain with the company once the acquisition is complete along with his wife Ingrid Pfurtscheller MSc, head of sales and marketing. They will drive growth together with the IHSE team. Kvm-tec is based in Tattendorf, Austria, and currently has 28 employees.
“Since kvm-tec was founded some 15 years ago, we have continuously developed the technology behind our KVMoIP products and are proud to supply numerous international customers today,” says Ing. Dietmar Pfurtscheller. “We are confident that in IHSE we have found the right partner to support our ongoing growth. With its global footprint and KVM expertise, we are well-positioned to become a KVM global powerhouse together,” adds Ingrid Pfurtscheller.
