Düssel­dorf — AddSe­cure Group acqui­res the Digi­Comm Group. Heuking provi­ded legal advice to the share­hol­ders of Digi­Comm Group on the take­over by the Swedish AddSe­cure Group.

For the Digi­Comm Group, this acqui­si­tion repres­ents a signi­fi­cant mile­stone on its growth path. As part of AddSe­cure, it gains access to the finan­cial stabi­lity and resour­ces of a larger, expan­sive player. This will enable the Digi­Comm Group to embark on its next phase of growth and further expand its market posi­tion. The acqui­si­tion expands the AddSe­cure Group’s presence in the DACH region and gives it access to a broad range of exper­tise and offe­rings in the criti­cal infra­struc­ture sector. The Swedish company is also opening up the new appli­ca­tion area of intel­li­gent waste management.

For deca­des, the Digi­Comm Group has been one of the leading compa­nies when it comes to moni­to­ring and secu­rely control­ling decen­tra­li­zed systems or criti­cal infra­struc­tures. The company has parti­cu­lar exper­tise in tele­con­trol commu­ni­ca­tion tech­no­logy for utili­ties, water boards and distri­bu­tion network opera­tors. Today, these solu­ti­ons are among the most important plat­forms for future tasks such as the digi­ta­liza­tion of the energy tran­si­tion or the imple­men­ta­tion of Indus­try 4.0 and the Indus­trial Inter­net of Things (IIoT). Through member­ships in the areas of “Cyber Secu­rity” and “450Alliance”, the company secu­res an up-to-date and signi­fi­cant infor­ma­tion advan­tage for itself and its customers.

The take­over of the Digi­Comm Group by AddSe­cure is expec­ted to be comple­ted in the coming weeks.
