eyevis, Reutlingen, Germany, manufacturer of display and video wall solutions, has acquired majority interest in the Bavarian company STiNO Media AG from Landsberg am Lech.
STiNO is a globally operating manufacturer of innovative digital signage software solutions and, together with the sister company Stinova Ltd., will be transformed into the new STiNO eyevis GmbH.
With the acquisition, eyevis and STiNO bring together their resources in development and sales and set trends for high-quality hardware and software complete solutions in the digital signage sector.
“STiNO Media AG offers very innovative software solutions for the operation of digital signage networks and the communication with interactive digital commercial displays,” says Heiko Schaich, CEO of eyevis. “Those displays can be perfectly combined with our display solutions. Since eyevis wants to strengthen its competences in the growing digital signage market, we integrated STiNO into our company group. Together as eyevis-Teracue-STiNO association we will be able to offer high-quality complete solutions for digital signage applications in the future.”
“The acquisition is a win-win-situation for both companies,” says Franz Hintermayr, founder and associate of STiNO Media AG and new managing director of STiNO eyevis GmbH. “eyevis provides us with new resources that help us to increase our sales activities and in this way better draw on our existing business potential nationally and internationally. Conversely, eyevis will be able to extend its product portfolio in the digital signage sector due to our support and offer complete packages of coordinated hardware and software solutions.”
With the majority takeover of StiNO by eyevis, brand, name and patent rights as well as all employees and the management remain as before.
“In this way customers of STiNO can be sure that the expertise of the company will be preserved and further developed,” says Schaich.
The acquisition of the majority stake of STiNO Media AG is another step in the growth strategy of eyevis GmbH with the goal of becoming the leading full-service provider of display and video wall systems for the areas of control rooms, presentation and information, broadcast as well as virtual reality and simulation worldwide.
Earlier, in February, 2014, eyevis had acquired the company Teracue from Odelzhausen, Bavaria.
