    Eversheds Sutherland has advised FotoWare, a leading innovator of Digital Asset Management (DAM) solutions, on the acquisition of Xenario GmbH. The transaction will contribute to FotoWare’s successful expansion strategy in Northern, Western, and Central Europe. By acquiring the German company Xenario, FotoWare further strengthens their presence in the DACH region while enhancing their offering to both new and existing customers.

    Xenario GmbH is a German software company headquartered in Hannover with subsidiaries near Frankfurt and Hamburg. For the past 17 years, Xenario has been a FotoWare partner and reseller in Germany.

    “We are delighted to help FotoWare continue their expansion journey within Germany”, said Lead Partner Christof Lamberts. “This transaction is an important strategic step to strengthens their position in a key European market and, therefore, to better meet the growing demand for innovative and secure technological solutions.”
