This acquisition will provide long term financial stability for Wegener and is providing a near term source of working capital. There are real synergies with the company acquiring Wegener and with another company currently under negotiations to be added to the group.
“We are working on some major projects in Latin America and we believe we will make real progress in the domestic digital signage market during fiscal 2014. We are in the process of coming through a very difficult financial period for Wegener and we are encouraged by the opportunities in the future. This acquisition of Wegener should give renewed confidence to our customers, shareholders, employees, and our creditors.
