Poland
On 1 January 2015, Aucotec founded "Aucotec Polska sp.z.o.o." from its former development partner Codevantage as a wholly owned subsidiary in Poland. The takeover of the long-time Polish sales partner Temertech, including its workforce, into the Aucotec subsidiary followed in February.
"The very competent new colleagues in Poland will now develop solely for Aucotec. We see huge potential for this strategically important market in the disproportionate growth of Polish gross domestic product in recent years", says Executive Board member Markus Bochynek about the addition to the family. Aucotec Polska focuses and coordinates the sales and technical activities there, but is also available for neighbouring countries.
Sweden
In May of this year, the likewise long-standing Swedish sales partner "ECC AB" became part of the Aucotec family, also as a wholly-owned subsidiary which will operate as of now as "Aucotec Sweden AB". The employee structure was also taken over here.
"In recent years, our Swedish partner has succeeded in establishing our products there with a constant annual growth. We are convinced that our subsidiary will be able to significantly increase software sales in this region", says Bochynek, Executive Board member responsible for sales.
With the new subsidiaries, the number of employees in Aucotec AG rose to 221.
