Fernao Networks and existing management acquire vonRoll itec

vonRoll itec, which specializes in IT outsourcing and cloud, is moving into the future with new owners and joining the IT security and network specialists Fernao Networks as an independent company. The long-standing management team led by CEO Martin Vogt and COO Vanja Rohr is taking a significant stake in the company and will continue to manage its operations. The composition of the new Board of Directors also shows that continuity has been ensured: both will sit on the Board of Directors, which Vogt will chair as Chairman. "We are grateful that we have been able to develop so well under the umbrella of the vonRoll infratec Group and see great added value for both sides in the partnership with Fernao Networks - not only for us as a company, but also for our customers," Vogt is convinced. The previous corporate strategy with a focus on hybrid cloud operating concepts, SAP Hana, digitalization as well as foreign strategy and all existing structures and organizations will be consistently continued. The data centers at the Gerlafingen and Solothurn sites will be retained. "We can now offer our customers expertise and resources in the areas of IT networking and IT security. This will allow us to continue on our growth path and develop the company positively," says Vogt.
