The purchase agreement between the VINCI subsidiary VINCI Energies Deutschland (VED) and Crocodial was signed in Hamburg at the beginning of April. The purchase is still subject to approval or non-prohibition by the German antitrust authorities. After acquiring Axians Networks & Solutions GmbH in 2005, formerly NK Networks & Services, VINCI is expanding its business with the acquisition of another IT company in Germany. The IT security specialist Crocodial, founded in 2002 with 30 employees and an annual turnover of over 15 million euros, has consistently expanded its solution portfolio in recent years. The company will continue to be independent within the VINCI Group in the future, under the leadership of Managing Directors Markus Buschmann, Wolfgang Dierke and Lutz Klöber. “The topic of security is not only gaining in importance in the IT market. It becomes the determining factor in all areas of the economy. The demand for advice and efficient security solutions has grown enormously. The solution portfolio of Axians Networks & Solutions with its many years of experience in the planning and implementation of complex network infrastructures is perfectly complemented by the security expertise of Crocodial ”, says Dr. Reinhard Schlemmer, Managing Director of VINCI Energies Germany. “Having Crocodial in our group of companies has valuable potential for all sides,” says Markus Buschmann, head of the IT division at VED Industrietechnik and CEO of Axians Networks & Solutions GmbH. “Axians Networks & Solutions and Crocodial have long-term partnerships with the technology leaders. When implementing projects, customers will benefit even more from these partnerships and the bundled technology know-how of our experts. But the employees will also be able to face challenges in even more complex projects through synergies with new colleagues. That motivates. " “It has always been important to us to be able to act with the financial backing of a“ group ”and still retain the flexibility of a“ medium-sized company ”. With this mentality, we have found our match in the VINCI Group. Every company there acts independently and is still able to use the synergies of a European network of related specialists, ”say Wolfgang Dierke and Lutz Klöber, managing directors of Crocodial. “And that with the enormous financial backing of a global player. An exemplary win-win situation.
