Adnovum takes over iSPIN and Koch IT

5:29

With the acquisition of the two companies, Adnovum expands its current cybersecurity offering with a Swiss-based Security Operating Center (SOC) that is well established in the market. In addition, it strengthens its expertise and capacities in managed security services and system engineering as well as in the development of customized software. Adnovum is also able to expand its portfolio on the client side, including in the energy and financial sector as well as in the public sector.

Trusted partner for secure digitalization

The acquisitions will make Adnovum a trusted partner for companies and organizations, offering the entire lifecycle of digital solutions securely and from a single source: from consulting, development, operation and maintenance to 24/7 security monitoring – with Swiss expertise and support from international teams.

iSPIN completes Adnovum's cybersecurity solutions

With iSPIN, 40 IT specialists are joining Adnovum. Founded in 1999, iSPIN has developed into a leading provider of cybersecurity and network solutions as well as consulting services in the field of IT security. The iSPIN portfolio ideally complements Adnovum's existing identity and access management solutions. The result is one of the broadest cybersecurity offerings on the market from a purely Swiss source – a key criterion for an increasing number of companies and organizations.

Koch IT strengthens Adnovum's services portfolio

Koch IT employs 25 people and is one of the leading providers of IT, software engineering, and project services for companies and public authorities with very high information security requirements. With its services «made in Switzerland», Koch IT complements Adnovum's offering portfolio specifically for clients in the public sector.

Continuity ensured

The top priority in the integration of the two companies into Adnovum is the clients, who will receive the usual reliable services of the highest quality, as well as the employees of Adnovum, iSPIN, and Koch IT. Samuel Bärfuss, currently CEO of iSPIN and Koch IT, will remain on board and shape the integration together with the Adnovum leadership team, thereby ensuring continuity. All three companies follow a sustainable corporate strategy grounded in a culture of trust. As people-oriented organizations, they see their employees as their most valuable asset and actively promote well-being, motivation, and personal development – recognizing that business success depends directly on their commitment and skills.

Adnovum CEO Thomas Zangerl: «We are strengthening Switzerland as a tech location»

«With these acquisitions, we are proactively contributing to the consolidation of the fragmented IT market and creating Swiss solutions in a demanding, partly highly regulated environment», says Thomas Zangerl, CEO of Adnovum. «The companies share the same values. They invest in Swiss quality, focus on a local presence, and have first-class access to global expertise. The acquisitions allow us to secure valuable expertise in Switzerland and further strengthen the tech location.»
