History

[edit]

Asseco was founded as COMP Rzeszów in 1991 by Adam Goral. It began as a ketchup factory, but Goral focused on the development of the manufacturer's information technology department, which soon became the center of the business. The company became multinational with the 2004 purchase of the Slovak company Asset Soft, and the company was renamed Asseco. It continued to make acquisitions, purchasing the Polish software companies Softbank and Prokom, and ventured outside of the former Eastern Bloc with a 2010 purchase of the Israeli NASDAQ-listed software company Formula Systems.[5] It has since expanded to a presence in over 50 countries.

In 2015, Asseco acquired the Portuguese company Exictos SGPS operating in Portugal as well as Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa including Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde.[7]

In 2017, the company established Asseco International, a holding which would be responsible for the management, supervision and support of Asseco Group companies operating on the international markets.[8]

In 2019, Asseco acquired 51% of shares in the Spanish IT company Tecsisa which provides services for the energy sector as well as 69.01% of shares in ComCERT which specializes in the provision of cybersecurity services.[9][10]

In 2020, the company entered the German banking market by establishing Adesso Banking Solutions GmbH in partnership with the German Adesso company specializing in systems for insurance sector firms and bank consulting.[11] I the same year, the company was ranked 55th in the CEE Top 500 ranking compiled by Coface, which lists the largest companies in Central and Eastern Europe.[12]

In 2021, Asseco PST, a subsidiary of Asseco, acquired a majority stake in the equity of Finantech, a Portuguese company headquartered in Porto specializing in software solutions for capital markets.[13]

In 2022, Asseco Data Systems, a subsidiary of Asseco, acquired a majority stake in the Kraków-based IT compant Pirios, a leading provider of customer services automation in Poland.[14]
