End2End, Europe's leading provider of outsourced solutions for mobile data, today announced that it has been acquired by MACH, one of the leading providers of inter-operator solutions to the telecommunications and data industry worldwide.
End2End, founded in 2000, has become the leading provider of outsourced mobile data solutions in Europe. End2End's managed service solutions are powering the delivery of mobile data services and content across more than 50 mobile operators in 20 countries on five continents.
Following the acquisition, End2End becomes part of MACH Group, but continues to operate as a standalone company with its own brand. The acquisition provides End2End with access to MACH's global presence and mobile operator customer base.
"End2End has already established itself as a strategic partner for many of the most recognised companies in mobile communications in Europe," said Martin Lippert, CEO of End2End. "MACH's global presence and wide mobile operator customer base gives us a great platform for continuing to drive significant growth for End2End."
"Our shareholders, management and staff have all worked very hard over the last five years to establish End2End as a market leader in the outsourcing of mobile data," said Peter Langkilde, Chairman and Co-Founder of End2End "This acquisition is a great recognition of our success and provides us with the financial backing to continue expanding our business further."
End2End's former owners included Draper Fisher Jurvetson ePlanet Partners, HP, Deutsche Bank Capital Partners, Amadeus Capital Partners and Cisco Systems. End2End's advisers for the transaction were Bech-Bruun and Dorsey & Whitney for legal matters and Ernst & Young in Denmark and UK for financial matters.
