Real estate consulting firm JLL represented Acronis during the search process and the negotiation of lease terms.

“Romania remains an attractive destination for IT&C companies looking for new markets to expand their operations. We are in touch with several international players that are looking at Romania as a next step for their expansion, and we are very glad we can offer them buildings like Orhideea Towers which perfectly address their real estate needs,” stated Madalina Marinescu, Office Consultant at JLL Romania, which advised Acronis throughout the transaction.

Acronis is a global company headquartered in Singapore and Switzerland. Its solutions are trusted by more than 5.5 million home users and 500,000 companies, including 100% of the Fortune 1000, and top-tier professional sports teams. During the last several years, Acronis has been opening offices in new locations and regions to support the global growth and demand for new generation of cyber protection technologies.

The new Romanian office will become an important foothold for serving the Romanian market — and the Balkans in general — in the post-Covid era.

“We have successfully opened a new office despite pandemic limitations. Now we are going to expand our operations in the region and leverage new resources for our global growth. Acronis has already provided the market with unique, easy-to-use protection solutions like Acronis Cyber Protect, Acronis Cyber Cloud, and others. And I’m sure that our new team in Romania will help the company in developing new breakthrough technologies and better serving local clients,” stated Ivan Doudin, Acronis Regional Sales Manager.

Romania has become the second country in the region in which JLL assisted Acronis throughout its expansion process. Previously, JLL Romania had represented the company throughout the process of leasing 1,700 square meters of office space in Sofia. The Bulgarian office has already become one of Acronis’ most important R&D centers. The new Romanian office is also expected to become a new center for IT expertise and innovation across the Balkan region.
