TeamViewer takes over Ubimax
TeamViewer will acquire Ubimax, a manufacturer of wearable computing technologies and augmented reality solutions. An agreement to this effect has been signed.
Remote software provider TeamViewer has signed a binding agreement to acquire Ubimax. This is TeamViewer's first ever acquisition: the combined business of the two companies is expected to accelerate the growth rate in the target market from 24% to 27%, enabled by the flourishing AR market. With the combined business of both companies, TeamViewer expects to grow its target market by EUR 10 billion to EUR 40 billion in 2023.
Ubimax is a manufacturer of wearable computing and augmented reality solutions that enable skilled workers in various industries to improve their manual work processes. In addition to wearables, the company's portfolio also includes consulting services and the AR software platform Frontline. Frontline supports a variety of tasks, such as order picking in the warehouse, by visualizing them on data glasses, thereby increasing productivity. Corporate customers can also use Frontline to control their work processes and communicate with workers in production or assembly.
