Tacton Systems acquired Ventacor, strengthening its position in the DACH region.

Tacton Systems, a leading global supplier of Configure Price Quote (CPQ) and Design Automation solutions, announced the acquisition of Ventacor GmbH and a new managerial appointment in the DACH region.

Tacton, led by CEO Frederic Laziou, is strengthening its position in the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) as it pursues its internationalization strategy with a local approach to key markets.

Ventacor, based in Bochum, Germany and led by Daniel Kortmann, is a Tacton partner and reseller that provides sales, consulting and implementation services for Tacton’s sales and product configuration solutions. Ventacor brings many years of experience in advanced configuration, digital transformation and CPQ as well as a profound understanding of the manufacturing market in the DACH region.

In addition to the acquisition of Ventacor, the company today announces the successful completion of its rebranding process for Lumo Graphics GmbH, based in Karlsruhe, Germany, following Tacton’s acquisition of the company in November 2016. The company is now fully integrated and will continue under the name Tacton Systems GmbH.

To mark this occasion and ensure a smooth transition, Tacton is appointing Ewa Johansson as Managing Director DACH. Johansson previously held a sales manager position at Tacton’s Swedish headquarters. She brings more than 20 years of industry leadership to her new role, as well as experience in global B2B sales and marketing. Johansson has also managed divisions of Swedish companies in Germany and will now be based out of Karlsruhe, Germany.
