Sweden-based HMS Industrial Networks AB – a world-leading provider of communication technology for industrial automation – has acquired, on June 29th, 2016, the 100 per cent of the shares of Intesis Software S.L.

Representing the vast majority of sales, the company’s building automation solution is marketed as IntesisBox®. Intesis works closely with many major manufacturers of building automation systems and air conditioning globally.

Being part of HMS is the beginning of a brilliant new stage for Intesis, it brings great opportunities for our company in terms of growth, further development of our technology platforms and expansion of our sales network”.

Intesis will maintain its current headquarters in Igualada and will continue to offer the best products to the market for Home and Building Automation under its brands IntesisBox®, IntesisHome® and Houseinhand®, but from now on with the support, expertise, and global resources of HMS.

Staffan Dahlström, CEO of HMS, says “Intesis has a strong position in the market for integration solutions for building automation that will complement HMS’s existing industrial gateways offering perfectly. Intesis will give HMS a strong footprint and valuable inroads into the market niche of building automation systems. Intesis is a well-established and highly regarded industry player who will further strengthen our unique value proposition to our OEM partners, system integrators and installers worldwide.”

Both agree on the common values of both companies and the constant search of innovation based on great quality standards.
