The parties have agreed not to disclose the details of the transaction. Founded in 1982 and headquartered in Nueziders, Austria, GANTNER is a leading European manufacturer of systems that enable automatic and contactless identification, based on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. GANTNER systems comprise integrated solutions for membership and visitor management, cashless payments, time recording in business organizations and security.

Since Ardian took a majority stake in GANTNER in 2016, the company has continued with its established strategy, providing customers with integrated solutions through targeted investments in research & development, as well as the expansion of the product range. In June 2017, the product portfolio was expanded to include ticketing and management software for leisure facilities with the acquisition of Syx Automations. This was followed by the acquisition of Contidata in June 2020, with which GANTNER expanded its offering to include market-leading cashless payment systems for company cafeterias. As part of its international expansion, the company was able to increase its market share, particularly in the USA, the UK and the Benelux countries. As a result, since 2015 GANTNER has doubled in revenues and increased the number of employees from 200 to 450. Headquartered in Spain, with more than 750 employees in offices spanning 32 countries, SALTO is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of world-class access control solutions, particularly in sectors where security is critical: education, healthcare, commercial, hospitality, retail, working spaces, residential and co-living, and Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA). The company revolutionized access control with a pioneering approach that featured the first stand-alone, battery-powered electronic lock; the SALTO Virtual Network (SVN) data-on-card technology; and the first wireless access control system that combined a stand-alone locking device with online, real-time capabilities — all without using wires or mechanical keys. The company has expanded its portfolio to include world-class software management, cloud solutions, and mobile applications. With the addition of the GANTNER portfolio, SALTO will now have the combined strength and joint capacity of one million access points annually. Thanks to the new partnership with Salto, we can expand our product portfolio, take advantage of important synergies, better target our markets and address customer segments with precision. Elmar Hartmann, CEO AUTOR Elmar Hartmann, CEO of GANTNER, said: “The collaboration with Ardian as an entrepreneurial partner was a true success story. During the past four years, we have been able to continue our steep growth curve and doubled our size. With innovative products and integrated solutions for contactless access, ticketing and billing systems as well as flexible workspaces, we are, becoming a truly global player that significantly shapes the market in our segments. Thanks to the new partnership with Salto, we can expand our product portfolio, take advantage of important synergies, better target our markets and address customer segments with precision. This puts us in an optimal position to continue our growth. I would like to thank Ardian for their excellent cooperation, which was both inspiring and respectful, and look forward to continuing the successful development of our company with SALTO.” Javier Roquero, SALTO Co-founder and CEO, said adding GANTNER to the SALTO portfolio offers a “very bright future.” “We are very excited to welcome GANTNER to the SALTO family,” said Roquero. “The GANTNER product suite enriches and diversifies the SALTO product offering, enhancing our end user experience and improves our ability to continue to deliver the absolute best in electronic access control.” Dirk Wittneben, Managing Director at Ardian and responsible for the investments of the Expansion team in the DACH region, added: “We are proud to have supported GANTNER in its internationalization, important strategic acquisitions and the development of new industries and customers. As a result, the company has been able to expand its product range and geographic coverage. We want to take this opportunity to thank GANTNER’s management team and employees for their trust and cooperation. We know SALTO is a good fit for further development in the future.” GANTNER partners with Adyen to advance payment experience for their customers 16.07.2020 This relationship combines a leading POS and ticketing solution with a single payments platform to simplify payments for customers and create new frictionless experiences.
