The reason for the acquisition is the search of the Cronos Group for a new partner closer to the core activities of Aviniti. Founder and director Tim Van Gasse remains in position as director and also becomes a director at Digitopia. Jan Bussels becomes CEO and, together with Sylvie Van de Leest, takes on the daily management of the companies within the Digitopia Group. With the acquisition, Digitopia Group achieves a turnover of 15 million euros and manages more than 30,000 digital touch points in 6 countries. From the three locations, Antwerp (Schilde), Paal-Beringen, and Deerlijk, the 50 employees continue the growth together.
Jan Bussels: "With the acquisition of Aviniti, Digitopia Group becomes by far the largest Belgian player in this digital market. The synergy between the companies - Digital Signage, Collaboration & AV integration - and the collective expertise gives us the opportunity to further evolve on a European level and offer a complete package to our customers."
Tim Van Gasse: "Our companies have a long history, each with its own direction and specialization. The synergy of customers, the economies of scale, and the combination of skills put us in a beautiful and competitive position where we can offer even more added value to our customers."
