The acquisition, whose value was not disclosed, strengthens Bitdefender’s position in the Asia-Pacific region and globally by creating its own subsidiary, Bitdefender Australia, headquartered in Melbourne.
Bitdefender took over the eTech SMS employees in charge of the Bitdefender portfolio, with the goal of strengthening online sales, partner network, and expansion in the region.
“This strategic decision will contribute to the two-digit sustained growth that we are crossing. Bitdefender Australia will play a key role in developing Bitdefender business and branding globally,” said Florin Talpes, Bitdefender CEO and founder.
“The acquisition was the natural progression [for] our two companies,” said Colin Westbury, SMS eTech managing director.
Bitdefender is a global security IT company that delivers revolutionary protection solutions against complex threats to 500 million users across 150 countries.
