PC-Ware acquires interest in systems house group “senas AG”
Fresh impetus expected for systems-house activities of Leipzig-based IT
specialist
PC-Ware AG, a pan-European IT service provider based in Leipzig, continues to
pursue its growth strategy as a systems house specialist by investing in German-
based systems house group senas AG. The company has acquired a significant
interest in senas AG, Bad Nauheim, with immediate effect.
Operating throughout Germany, senas AG has subsidiaries in Hamburg, Ratingen,
Frankfurt, Munich, and Karlsruhe. The new locations will allow PC-Ware to
strengthen its regional presence in Germany, which is considered to be essential
within the field of systems-house business. senas AG is expected to generate
revenues of approx. EUR40 million in the current financial year.
PC-Ware’s latest acquisition looks set to enhance the company’s overall position
as a systems house specialist. Together with its existing systems-house
activities and the locations in Leipzig, Dresden, Berlin, and Hanover, as well
as Bison Systems AG in Switzerland (locations in Sursee, Bern, and Winterthur),
PC-Ware’s shareholding in senas AG will provide the company with a strong
presence in the German-speaking region of Europe (Germany, Austria, and
Switzerland), which is considered to be particularly important to systems-house
activities.
