Pliezhausen, 4 April 2023. DATAGROUP SE (WKN A0JC8S) increases its stake in URANO Informationssysteme GmbH from 70 % to 100 % with effect from 3 April 2023. The first stake in the Bad Kreuznach-based IT service provider was acquired in May 2021. At that time, the agreement included an option to buy the remaining 30 % of the shares in two years’ time. This step marks the end of the two-year transition phase.

Founded in 1990, URANO Informationssysteme GmbH has 300 employees providing IT services for customers from the private and public sectors.

“I look forward to continue the successful partnership with DATAGROUP”, says Sebastian Schmalenbach, Managing Director of URANO. “With the CORBOX, the service portfolio of DATAGROUP, we can provide an even wider range of IT services to our customers and will further expand our business.”
