Joining forces with PLATO and Main Capital Partners

Exploiting synergy effects, expanding our market-leading position and guaranteeing customers the software quality they are accustomed to: The joining of iqs Software GmbH and PLATO AG has been completed and offers our customers many advantages from both a strategic and economic point of view. The partnership of experienced, ideally complementary industry experts and grown corporate structures sets the course for the accelerated, further growth of our company.

By joining forces, we are aiming for a well thought-out and fully integrated CAQ system based on an "unbeatable" FMEA. In doing so, we are working on a "state of the art" web technology, which we will also offer in a cloud.

We consider the majority shareholding by the investment company Main Capital Partners as a "partnership bull's eye". The goal of forming a leading software group in the field of engineering and quality management with expansion into the international market offers great synergy potential, especially in the complementary industry, customer and country structures.

Managing Director Ulrich Mangold: "We are very excited about this next growth step for iqs together with PLATO and Main Capital Partners. The joining forces with Plato will allow us to bring more clout to our customers' digitalization efforts. We are convinced that we have the right resources and know-how in this new environment to implement our ambitious plans and become the leading provider in this market."

We are meeting the many innovations with consistency: iqs customers will remain in their existing contracts and also keep their contact persons unchanged. The further development into a web-based total solution for engineering and quality ensures a comprehensive software concept and the best FMEA on the market.

We are pleased to inform you about the new orientation of iqs and are available for questions at any time.
