AGC Networks has announced plans to acquire acquiring Fujisoft (along with its associated companies in UAE) through its indirect subsidiary – Black Box Holdings Limited Cayman Islands.

Albert Raj, managing director, Fujisoft, said “This acquisition is a logical next step that creates substantial value for customers and stakeholders of both AGC and Fujisoft. It will truly benefit customers and business partners through expanded product portfolio and service excellence in the Middle East region and beyond.”
Deepak Kumar Bansal, chief financial officer, AGC Networks, said, “Bringing Fujisoft under the umbrella of AGC Networks will surely enable customers to garner the cross leverage across AGC and Black Box solution offerings and services support base in the region.”
Rohit Himatsingka, vice president and head corporate development and strategy, AGC Networks said “Operating within the restrictive parameters of Work from Home during the current COVID times and under the new normal, this challenging and unique acquisition by AGC is in the wake of our focused approach on continuing to be at the forefront to offer the best technology solutions and services in the various markets that we operate in.”
