NanoWorld Holding aquires ISB


Innovative Solutions Bulgaria Ltd. (ISB) announces that it has become a member of the NanoWorld Holding AG based in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. NanoWorld Holding AG has acquired 100 % of ISB and its three business divisions AFM Probes, Print & Design and Web & Programming on April 1, 2005.
“ISB with its brand BudgetSensors combined with our NanoWorld and NANOSENSORS brands completes the vertical and horizontal market depths of our AFM probes group activities”, said Manfred Detterbeck, CEO of NanoWorld Holding AG. “The acquisition is also expected to result in greater efficiency and significantly increase market share” added Detterbeck.

“Our Quality meets price concept in combination with the high growth potential in the lower price segment and the strong financial background of NanoWorld Holding AG will enable us to achieve leadership in our market segment even faster”, said Kamen Nikolov, CEO. “Additionally”, Mr. Nikolov stated, “our boosted financial resources will help us to market our three divisions more aggressively on a world-wide basis than before.”

Not only ISB’s AFM probes division BudgetSensors but also the Print & Design and Web & Programming divisions are profitable and show high growth rates.
Access to very cost efficient group internal print design and web services now opens a high saving potential for the entire NanoWorld group.
