Kyocera sets to expands its product offering with the acquisition of Germany-based data management specialist Alos-- a move the print vendor describes as a step towards transformation into a "complete solution provider."

"As a company we are focused on driving forward the advancement of document solutions to meet our customers modern business needs, both physical and digital, to ensure safe, effective and high quality management of processes," Kyocera says. "Alos will form part of our approach in providing tailor-made, cost-effective solutions that will complement our range of quality products and services."

A systems provider of capture and enterprise content management (ECM) solutions in German-speaking countries, Alos has over 100 employees based in Germany and Switzerland.

Post-acquisition, Alos will run as an independent company as it goes through a 3-year integration process, reporting directly to Kyocera Document Solutions Deutschland.
