euromicron AG: Continuous growth paves and secures the way to the
'Agenda 500'
14.05.2013 / 07:00
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frankfurt, May 2013 - euromicron, one of the leading vendors of network
infrastructures, is on the way to the next stage in its growth. 'Agenda
500' is the name of the strategy which has been proclaimed by the
euromicron's Executive Board and for which it has budgeted an annual
investment of between 3 and 5 million euros. The company is thereby
pursuing its goal of achieving annualized sales of EUR500 million on a
value-oriented foundation in 2015. The main contribution to that in the 2-
to 3-year phase of integration is to be made by organic growth in the
market for network infrastructures, a segment of lasting economic
importance, before the company aims in 2015 to make a large strategic
investment like the acquisition of telent in 2011.
The current discussion about the use of the technology called 'vectoring'
or 'VDSL2' to expand high-speed, highly available data networks illustrates
the great importance - including to the economy - of the market in which
euromicron, the expert for network infrastructures, operates. For instance,
BITKOM urges policymakers to recognize the opportunities offered by
important growth fields, such as broadband expansion, and to lay the
foundation for further digitization of the German economy. Only if that is
done can the ICT industry play its role as a job engine and create 12,000
new jobs in the course of the year.
The permanently growing demand for bandwidth is obvious. Studies like that
by Cisco on developments in global IP traffic prove that very precisely.
Trends such as big data, cloud computing or the Internet of Things are
driving market growth and make life and work more secure, more convenient
and faster - yet high bandwidth is also needed for the necessary data
networks.
Network infrastructures - a gigantic growth market
Global IP traffic has increased 8-fold in the past 5 years and by 2016
global IP networks will transfer 12.5 petabytes every five minutes. The
equivalent in gigabytes of all films ever made will ten pass through
worldwide IP networks every 3 minutes, i.e. 1.2 million minutes of video
content will be transferred over the networks every second. That is being
accompanied by an explosion in the number of smart digital terminal
devices, reflecting future user behavior. Whereas the number of company PCs
is forecast to increase by 39 percent between 2010 and 2015 (the increase
in private PCs is already 69), the number of tablets used worldwide is to
increase by a hefty 2,170 percent over the same period. 3.4 billion
Internet users are then forecast for 2016.
All that illustrates the enormous need to expand and modernize existing
network infrastructures and create new, highly available networks. At the
same time it is necessary to convert company's 'old technology' - networks,
terminal devices, systems and applications - to state-of-the-art,
high-speed networks. euromicron assumes responsibility for advising
customers on and planning and implementing the 'new' technology.
As a result, the market for network infrastructures is continuously growing
and also driving demand for euromicron's products, solutions and services.
euromicron excellently positioned in this growth market
euromicron is the specialist group for planning, advising on and
implementing state-of-the-art, future-oriented network infrastructures.
In-depth know-how and vendor-independent solution competence in
communication, control and monitoring in the Gigabit age are united under
one roof. euromicron's customers benefit from precisely tailored solutions,
products made in Germany and the comprehensive footprint of the
medium-sized group. On the basis of powerful broadband networks, euromicron
builds the data highways that private enterprises and public organizations
need as they move to a successful future.
'We have continuously enhanced our qualifications for our market over the
past years and, as part of our Group's integration phase, will work
unswervingly to build our skills and expertise and keep them fit for the
future. Every customer is provided with the ideal solution for it so that
it has everything it needs for communication and data transfer,' says
Thomas Hoffmann from euromicron's Executive Board.
Alongside the acquisition of smallish specialist companies, the
establishment of Competence Centers is to help make the Group's know-how
available to the market.
Cultivation of key markets by Competence Centers
With the launch of the integration phase in 2012, cross-group teams were
formed for important areas defined as future topics, such as data centers,
active technology or unified communications. They have the technical
expertise and numbers to help access new markets and strengthen the overall
company's market position.
In the field of data centers, for example, the focus of the URM Competence
Center is on euromicron's own structured cabling system URM(R), which is
being permanently developed further as part of the Group's ongoing
innovation initiative. URM enables high operational reliability and
investment protection and is regarded as groundbreaking for future-proof
fiber-optic cabling infrastructures and the move to the next generation of
broadband.
As part of the current integration phase up to 2014, these and other
measures are intend to achieve organic growth in sales of 5% to 10%, after
which - following completion of the phase of operational realignment,
creation of a strong foundation and the Group's strategic further
development - sights will be set on the EUR500 million sales mark in
subsequent years. The market for network technology form a solid basis for
that.
