Acquisition of leading Romanian IT player increases Luxoft's
global delivery capability and telecom expertise
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Luxoft, a global provider of high-end application and product
development services, today announced it has acquired
Bucharest-headquartered ITC Networks (ITCN), a leading Romanian
software outsourcing provider specializing in the telecommunications
industry. The combined company will have more then 3000 employees
worldwide and an annual revenue run rate of over $150 million.
The acquisition of ITC Networks, which follows Luxoft's April
announcement of a new office opening in Vietnam, further expands the
company's global footprint. ITC Networks' large scale delivery
capability within the European Union, with its shared legal framework,
ease of travel, and convenient time zones, makes Luxoft's service
offerings even more compelling for the European clientele. The deal
also strengthens Luxoft's expertise in the telecom industry, expanding
its client portfolio with companies like Nortel Networks, Avaya,
Trapeze Networks and others. In turn, existing ITC Networks clients
will benefit from Luxoft's best-of-breed processes and methodologies,
financial stability, global delivery locations, and economies of
scale.
"This acquisition is another step in Luxoft's growth and
strengthening of the company's global presence," said Dmitry
Loschinin, President and CEO, Luxoft. "The tremendous telecoms
aptitude of the combined team, prominent European Union location and
shared commitment to engineering excellence will serve Luxoft, its
clients and ITC Networks' clients well for years to come."
Doru Mardare, Managing Director of ITC Networks concurred. "This
acquisition is a great boost to ITC Networks. We see full synergy with
the Luxoft team in terms of our respective corporate cultures, ability
to develop successful long term partnerships with leading global
clients, and deep telecom industry expertise. We are looking forward
to becoming part of a global entity, especially one that is growing as
quickly as Luxoft."
James Reeves, Vice President of R&D and World-Wide Customer
Service Trapeze Networks, a client of ITC Networks, commented, "We are
excited to work with such a world-class, global organization like
Luxoft and are confident that this acquisition will further strengthen
our relationship."
