Supplementing its portfolio of services
Paris, 12July 2017 – Evernex, the European leader in third-party IT infrastructure maintenance (“TPM”) services, today announced the acquisition of two new companies. TTS France, an expert in magnetic and optical backup solutions. And CAT Sistemas, a Spanish company specializes in IT infrastructure. With these strategic acquisitions, Evernex is completing its portfolio of services and strengthening its position as a leader in France and Europe’s Latin countries.
Evernex acquires two new companies
With more than 35 years of experience, TTS France is the recognized leader in the repair of tape drives and backup libraries in laboratories. TTS France specializes in the maintenance of data backup and storage infrastructures. With this acquisition, Evernex will be able to supplement its range of services with very specific know-how.
Bruno Demolin, Evernex’s chairman, pointed out:
“We consider high-end data storage equipment repairs to be “ultra-technical” work. Therefore, requests associated with this niche skill-set require test platforms with outstanding capabilities. Today, very few businesses are able to provide this level of proficiency. Thanks to the acquisition of TTS France, Evernex will be able to have access to most libraries and tape drives, using all backup software on the market. This shall be available for all of our customers, throughout the world.”
Thanong Sengsavang, Managing Director of TTS France explains:
“The arrival of Evernex allows us to benefit from the resources we need to further specialize in this niche market for repairing tape drives and backup libraries. With Evernex’s international exposure and our complementary skill-set, we gain everything.”
TTS France
The merger TTS France strengthens the acquisition of Nexeya Services in October 2016. And specialises in data and backup storage on the French market. The acquisition of TTS France allows Evernex to expand its business internationally.
CAT Sistemas: conquering Europe’s latin market
Evernex’s other strategic acquisition involved the integration of CAT Sistemas. This Spanish company specialised in the maintenance and distribution of reconditioned multivendor IT hardware. This Catalan has an excellent reputation in the local market. Since 16 June, the date of its acquisition, CAT Sistemas and its 10 staff members have made their know-how available to Evernex.
Bruno Demolin says:
“We have been established in Spain for 10 years. Assisting our major international accounts and serving our local customers from Madrid. Our ambition is to become the leading provider of critical IT infrastructure maintenance services in Spain within 3 years. By acquiring CAT Sistemas, we are strengthening our presence in the Iberian market with a Catalan foothold and benefit from a sales team. And a customer base that will enable us to boost our sales in the Spanish market. And ultimately help us to strengthen our sales in Latin America.”
Daniel Suarez, Managing Director of CAT Sistemas states:
“This acquisition is a tremendous opportunity for CAT Sistemas. We were looking to supplement our range of services for over a year. This is also excellent news for our customers, who will be offered additional services.”
Last May, Evernex also opened a subsidiary in Chile. This new office reinforces Evernex’s presence in South America. Particularly in Spanish-speaking countries. With this strategic position, the Group intends to develop its activities in Argentina, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador.
