Prague, 6 December 2019 – Saop, which is in 100% ownership of Solitea Holding, took over a 100 % stake of MIT informatika d.o.o., one of the main Slovenian suppliers of overall software solutions intended in particular for manufacturing companies. By the merger of both companies, the Solitea Group is becoming the main provider of corporate information systems for the manufacturing sector in Slovenia.

Our vision is to become one of the most important suppliers of information systems for the companies of all sizes in Central and Eastern Europe. By purchasing MIT informatika we are one step closer to this goal,” says Martin Cígler, President of the Management Board of Solitea Holding. "In fact, Saop is already one of the main providers of information systems in the segment of small and medium-sized companies in Slovenia, while on the other hand, MIT informatika is one of the leading software houses for medium and large-sized companies here. By merging both companies we will cover manufacturing organizations of all sizes.” 

Both companies, Saop and MIT informatika, have been developing and selling their own software solutions already for 30 years. “Our main advantage is 60 years of joint experience, if I may say so,” says Petra Šinigoj, Saop CEO. “In particular manufacturing companies look for robust partners, with a long tradition, since they are aware how valuable a stable and long-term partnership in this segment is.

Saop is undoubtedly the largest Slovenian employer in the field of ERP solutions. With the acquisition of MIT informatika, the team additionally increased, namely to 150 employees. “We are fully aware of the better competitiveness of larger development departments, and that is the reason why for many years now, we have been looking for a partner to connect with. By merger with the market leader in the field of ERP systems, Saop will certainly accelerate its development in solutions for manufacturing companies and ability to quickly respond to clients’ requests. In fact, many Slovenian companies, which have their own subsidiaries in the Balkans, wish to manage their operation in a uniform system. That is why we also have the opportunity to expand to markets in Serbia and Croatia,” says Marjeta Povalej, CEO of MIT informatika.

At the moment, Solitea is one of the largest suppliers of accounting and business information systems (ERP) in Central Europe and in the Balkans. The Group brings together partners with a joint vision of further development. The key element of the vision is the simplification of in-house processes of our clients. Therefore, I am really pleased that we were able to extend our portfolio in the Balkans by full-fledged production system provided by MIT informatika,” says Martin Cígler.

From the point of view of the employees and clients the acquisition means no change. Saop and Solitea Holding guarantee to all users the same level of cooperation to which they were used to so far, including access to the same software applications. In fact, our clients will benefit from the merger in the long run. “With the team increase, we will be able to more easily provide to the users the state-of-the-art technological approaches and solutions on a long-term basis,“ adds Petra Šinigoj.
