ARTHOS advises Transition Technologies MS S.A. on its acquisition of Pixel Plus AG

Strengthening TTMSs’ position within software development and AEM in Switzerland
Transition Technologies MS S.A. has entered into an agreement to purchase 55% of shares in the Swiss company Pixel Plus AG.

ARTHOS acted as exclusive financial adviser to TTMS in this transaction. ARTHOS provided full buyside advisory services including evaluating strategic goals to define ideal search criteria, pursue an extensive company screening process, analyzing more than 50 potential strategic partners, arranging management meetings and driving the subsequent M&A process including co-ordination of the due diligence and contract negotiations.

Pixel Plus, established in 2015 and based in Zurich, specializes in projects utilizing Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). The company also offers consulting services and creates software solutions for the banking, public, industrial, and sports sectors.

For TTMS, the Swiss market is one of the key areas – over 70% of TTMS Group’s total sales in 2023 were directed to clients whose main headquarters are located in Switzerland. The acquisition of a majority stake will assist in maintaining relationships with existing clients and reaching new ones, as was the case with the opening of TTMS offices in India and Malaysia and the acquisition of ConCor A/S in Denmark.

This successful acquisition brings TTMS closer to achieving its main goal of becoming a global IT services provider.
