Trifork Holding AG (Trifork), a next-generation IT and business services provider which strives to be at the forefront of digital innovation, announces today that it has completed the acquisition of Vilea, a Swiss-based IT-firm specializing in designing and delivering tailor-made mobile enterprise applications, in a move aimed at expanding Trifork’s position in Switzerland and central Europe. Vilea has 11 employees in offices in Zürich and Vienna.
Combining Trifork’s ecosystem of technological competencies, with Vilea’s talented team and solid reputation in engineering and developing user-centric enterprise apps, the acquisition is a sound starting point for further strengthening the combined position in the Swiss market.
“Switzerland is one of the core countries in our growth strategy, and by joining forces with the talented team of Vilea, we significantly improve our position in the country and gain a strong foothold within our Smart Enterprise business segment. In Trifork, we have a long track record of value creating acquisitions, and this is our first in Switzerland. There is a great match between our two companies, and I look very much forward to welcoming our new colleagues to the Trifork family,” said Trifork CEO Jørn Larsen.
Vilea has since its foundation in 2009 proven itself in the Swiss market and has a solid track record in delivering business critical applications to renowned companies.
“Being part of the Trifork Group gives us access to an international organization and a pool of competencies and resources to help leverage our services and offerings. We will be making the most of this new partnership as we help our customers succeed with their increasingly business-critical digital transformation projects. Together, we are stronger in the Swiss and Austrian market and we look forward to present an even stronger offering to existing and new customers,” said Vilea CEO, Fabio Vena.
With the acquisition of Vilea and its deep, technical understanding of enterprise solutions in combination with focus on unser centric enterprise App development, Trifork expands its range of services offered to large blue chip customers in Switzerland.
“Our clients are looking to us to help them create transformative app solutions that improve their businesses and empower their employees to perform at their best. Ensuring a high performing user-experience in real-time requires a highly competent team that can cut across technologies and tie together all the complex backend systems into simple, user-friendly apps – we believe we can expand this promise in Switzerland and Austria with Vilea. We look forward to welcoming the excellent team,” said Kristian Dollerup, CCO, Trifork Smart Enterprise.
