ARTHOS advises Data Respons ASA on its acquisition of DONAT group GmbH
Munich, 3 July 2019 - Data Respons ASA has today signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in DONAT group GmbH (“DONAT”), a German R&D Services company headquartered in Ingolstadt with more than 140 employees. The company is a leading niche provider of SW solutions and specialist services within software development and architecture, system integration and test management as well as business critical R&D IT services (DevOps).
ARTHOS acted as exclusive financial adviser to Data Respons in this transaction.

- With this transaction, we continue to strengthen our position in Germany, the largest industrial market in Europe and strategically important for Data Respons. Digitalisation and connection of vehicles, transformation of powertrains, increasing environmental- and security requirements are challenging the automotive industry to innovate at a faster pace than before. In order to keep up, the industry is investing heavily in advanced software and data-driven tools supporting an efficient development and testing of new platforms.

Both companies provide specialist services and develop niche software solutions in close cooperation with our industry leading customers.
