S&T: Austrian based IT company S&T AG entered into an agreement with Kapsch-Group Beteiligungs GmbH, Vienna, Austria, to purchase 100% of the shares of Kapsch CarrierCom AG, with this including its subsidiaries and its operative business area Kapsch PublicTransportCom. The two business areas employ nearly 500 people, and in their last financial year had revenues of some Euro 120 mn.

The purchase price - subsequent to taking into consideration liabilities and cash on hand - ranges in the low double digits of millions of euros. S&T CEO Hannes Niederhauser commented on the transaction: "This acquisition represents our achieving a further milestone in the implementation of the objectives that we have set for growth in our Agenda 2023 plan. Kapsch CarrierCom is one of the world's leading suppliers of communication solutions employed by operators of rail systems. Over the last few years, the company has successfully transformed itself from a provider of customer-specific hardware products into a supplier of hardware-independent software-based solutions. The technologies acquired in the transaction ideally complement the portfolio possessed by the Kontron/S&T Group in the area of 'IoT Transportation'. The large portion of software comprised in the transaction constitutes our pursuance of our strategy of increasing our value added."
