NCS SYSTEMS France announces the acquisition of ACKSYS Communications & Systems

A Strategic Acquisition to Strengthen Technological Innovation

NCS Group, a leading player in industrial computing, embedded systems, advanced electronics, and industrial communications, announces the acquisition of ACKSYS Communications & Systems. This transaction significantly enhances the group’s technological offering and innovation capabilities in demanding markets. ACKSYS is one of the few French companies specializing in radio communication devices designed for industrial environments.

With this integration, the group now brings together NCS Systems (France and Benelux), Techway, Planavision, and ACKSYS, covering the entire value chain of embedded electronic systems in constrained environments. NCS contributes its expertise in critical industrial electronics, including specialized real-time data acquisition boards (Techway) and recognized know-how in video signal processing, while ACKSYS strengthens capabilities in industrial radio communications.

Together, these complementary skills enable NCS Group to support its clients on ambitious technological projects, mainly in defense, aerospace, industry, and transportation, ensuring a comprehensive approach from embedded computing to secure data transmission.

A Natural Integration and Controlled Growth

ACKSYS teams will soon join NCS Systems at its new site in Elancourt. This integration, following the retirement of Mr. Eric Cariou, founder of ACKSYS, will strengthen expertise in secure industrial connectivity technologies, including wired, Wi-Fi, and cellular solutions, which are key building blocks of modern embedded architectures.

The know-how and expertise of ACKSYS teams will be fully preserved and will contribute to a collective dynamic aimed at accelerating innovation, developing new offerings, and moving up the technological value chain.

This marks the third external growth transaction for NCS Group since the arrival of Isatis Capital, illustrating the group’s strategy of combining organic growth with targeted acquisitions to strengthen its position in high value-added markets. This transaction reflects Isatis Capital’s commitment to supporting its portfolio companies in their growth and strategic development.

We are convinced that this synergy will help accelerate the group’s growth and strengthen its impact in its key markets.
