The 35 employees at Sys-Team join the current 750-strong staff across the Stratacache group. The firm hopes to expand its reach across Europe, the Middle East and Africa with the new acquisition, beginning with Germany and the Benelux region which, it says, has “significant potential for short-term growth in smart digital signage projects.”

The acquisition was led by Dirk Huelsermann, managing partner at Stratacache Capital. He comments: “This acquisition marks another milestone in Stratacache’s aggressive expansion strategy.

“With the addition of Sys-Teams, Stratacache further enhances the ability to serve as a worldwide solution provider, adding significant field services in the EU — a complement to current services in the Americas and Asia-Pacific region, including India, China and Australia. We’re fully prepared to lead global brands who are seeking to improve their retail customer experience.”

We feel that this is a great opportunity for growth, evolving to meet the increasing project requirements and retail goals of our clients”

Joint founders of Sys-Teams, Richard Evans and Campbell Newlands comment: “We are delighted that after 17 years of digital signage system integration, Sys-Teams is joining the Stratacache family. We feel that this is a great opportunity for growth, evolving to meet the increasing project requirements and retail goals of our clients.”

This is the second acquisition led by Stratacache Capital, a division of Stratacache that leads strategic deal discovery on a global scale, since its creation in 2017. The division reviews more than 400 deals a year and advises on investments that can expand Stratacache’s portfolio of digital signage offerings. The firm has provided digital solutions in a range of markets, for brands including McDonald’s and Adobe.
