French consulting firm Altran Technologies has bought a Dutch Intelligent Systems specialist TASS for an undisclosed amount.
TASS, which operates in the Netherlands and Belgium, will be added to Altran’s global network of 3,500 experts. Also, following the acquisition, Altran will leverage TASS’ expertise in the areas such as autonomous systems, smartphones, smart meters, medical devices and advanced air traffic control.
TASS was founded as part of Philips Group and is a specialist in embedded software in the semiconductors, consumer electronics and healthcare sectors.
"We believe there is strong complementarity between Altran and ourselves as well as a good cultural fit. TASS works in sectors where technical and embedded software plays an important role in the development of intelligent and innovative products with a strong focus on connected devices in the world of Internet of Things. It is clearly the right step and the right moment to let TASS achieve its goals in an international environment. Our customers remain in good hands: we will continue to build high-quality products in co-creation with our customers in order to reduce their 'time to market,” says Edwin Manten, Managing Director of TASS.
