Italian acquisition of Czech software firm
Bologna-based Datalogic, a company listed on the Italian stock exchange, has acquired all of the Czech company Pekat. The value of the transaction amounts to around EUR 16 million for the entire share capital, and was financed from Datalogic's own funds.
The start-up founded by Petr Smid, the company's majority shareholder, is based in Brno in Czechia. Pekat has developed proprietary algorithms for process automation in production, transport and logistics sectors, with additional potential to manage retail applications.
The joint offering will allow Datalogic to expand its product line. 2022 marks Datalogic's 50th anniversary. (sh)
