Maguar, a German tech investor specializing in B2B software investments in the DACH region, has made a majority investment in Navori Labs.
Navori Labs’ advanced digital signage platform empowers businesses to seamlessly create, manage, and display multimedia content across screens. As an industry leader, it broadly covers sectors like retail, quick-service-restaurants, corporate communication, and transportation. Navori Labs’ solutions are distributed through a global network of partners, including distributors, operators, and resellers, across more than 150 countries.
Maguar believes it can expand on Navori’s market share, customer relationships, and support strategic acquisitions across the Americas, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.

This partnership is a testament to our confidence in the company’s ability to scale and thrive in a dynamic market.”
