PRESS RELEASE
Integration process and clearly defined strategy put the leading vendor of
network infrastructures on track for its next phase of growth
Frankfurt, April 2013 - In the past fiscal year 2012, euromicron embarked
on the 2- to 3-year build and integrate phase as part of its 15-year
strategy, the final stage of which is to be achieved in 2015 with
annualized sales of EUR500 million. The initial integration measures, which
were launched in 2009/2010, were interrupted after reaching the EUR200
million sales mark by the early possibility of acquiring telent GmbH for
the euromicron Group in 2011 and were then continued and stepped up on a
broad scale in 2012. The extensive integration measures were implemented in
2012 as planned in the first stage, the growth targets of at least EUR330
million in sales were achieved.
Unique market positioning with enormous growth potential
The company's positioning, which is largely unique in Germany and Europe,
was created as part of a corporate strategy that is geared to a timeframe
of 15 years and is now entering its final phase of implementation. 'The
focus on network infrastructures - as a manufacturer, system integrator and
in distribution - is proactive and forward-looking. According to a study*,
global IP traffic has grown 8-fold in the past 5 years and will triple
again in the next 5,' says Thomas Hoffmann from euromicron's Executive
Board. Demand for euromicron's products, solutions and services is driven
by this trend.
After telent GmbH, a system house for WAN services that strategically
complements euromicron's portfolio, was acquired earlier than planned,
integration was carried out on a broad scale in fiscal 2012. The large
number of measures range from location optimization, reorganization of
management structures at the operating companies, expansion and
modernization of the IT landscape to investment in product developments.
Professionalization of the sales team, initiation of Competence Centers,
the setup of operational controlling units to establishment of a compliance
organization round out the structural and integration measures.
'We did not slacken our pace in implementing the planned integration
measures despite the negative impact on earnings in the course of the year
and will continue them in 2013 with undiminished purpose so as to prepare
our company for further growth, the Agenda 500' says Executive Board member
Thomas Hoffmann.
Sights set on growth to EUR500 million in sales in 2015
euromicron has come to terms well with the structural and integration
measures implemented as planned in 2012 and posted respectable figures. 'We
are thus investing in the company's sustainable development and - as in the
first 10 years of building the company - will benefit from that long term,'
affirms Dr. Willibald Späth, Chairman of the Executive Board of euromicron.
Under the Agenda 500, the company is pursuing its goal of achieving
annualized sales of EUR500 million in 2015.
