PVA TePla AG Acquires Renowned Software Company
The PVA TePla Group is strengthening its business with SPA Software
Entwicklungs GmbH from Coburg, a specialist in software and automation in
the semiconductor industry. This acquisition represents a major step forward
for the PVA TePla Group's continued strategic development.
Founded in 1989, SPA has around 30 employees and serves customers worldwide
with specific software programs for production system automation and image
capture with associated analyses. It also provides complete systems for
high-precision measuring technology to renowned companies in the
semiconductor industry.
PVA TePla Analytical Systems GmbH, a manufacturer of ultrasound measuring
systems, has had good business relations with the software developer for
many years. "With SPA GmbH, we are significantly strengthening our business
in key areas of software development and automation," says the Management
Board member responsible for production and technology at PVA TePla AG,
Oliver Höfer. "Our customers' requirements for automation and
standardization are increasing at a fast pace. We intend to expand the
company SPA rapidly: First, SPA's services for its customer base are to be
strengthened, and second, our subsidiaries can also increasingly benefit
from its software expertise."
Founder and managing director Georg Sauer is pleased: "With this sale to an
established, mid-market high-tech group, we are placing our company in good
hands. Our markets complement each other and we have customers in common,
which will result in synergies that not only safeguard existing jobs but
also create new ones." Georg Sauer will serve as the managing director of
the company for at least another two years.
"With SPA's technologies, we will be able to integrate our products in
ongoing semiconductor production processes at our customers even faster and
more flexibly. This is an important strategic step for the whole group that
will secure us long-term competitive advantages," says Alfred Schopf, CEO of
PVA TePla AG. "And for SPA itself, there are excellent opportunities for
success with the PVA Group behind it."
PVA TePla AG is acquiring the company retroactively with effect from January
1, 2018. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.
