US-headquartered Barcodes Group has acquired Germany's Identbase, expanding its access control and people ID distribution offering in the EU region.
Based in Meppen, Germany, Identbase has more than 30 years of expertise in physical security and ID management solutions.
"We will immediately start working together with UK-based digital ID and on growth opportunities across Europe," said Marcus Brand, managing director and founder of Identbase. "We now have three key distribution hubs located throughout the region to meet our customers' demand in much quicker timescales. We will be able to offer customers a faster, simpler and easier ordering experience. And our trade partners will have instant access to a much wider and innovative product range."
"Identbase will join with Digital ID to create the leading ID and access control solutions provider in the UK and EU," said Daniel Nettesheim, president and CEO of Barcodes Group. "The powerful combination of businesses, when paired with our equally scaled business in the Americas, makes up the undisputed global market leader in the industry.
"As part of our long-term growth plan, Barcodes will continue to invest in the growth of Identbase through expanded stock availability, sustainable products, and industry-leading technology."
