Jurriaan Piek, General Manager at TSS: “We are excited to welcome another company to TSS in Spain. EIT is the company that has defined and executed Grupo Villar Mir’s ICT strategy at national and international levels and provided support to its users and the operation of its systems. As EIT delivers mission-critical software to the group, it is an important element of their business operations. And thus, we are very pleased that Grupo Villar Mir has considered TSS as the new home for EIT, giving it a solid foundation upon which we can enter the next phase of the company. TSS, as a perpetual owner with independent business units, believes in software for life. I am looking forward to working with the EIT team.”
Javier López Madrid, CEO at Villar Mir Group: “EIT has been part of our group of industrial companies since 1996, and we felt it was time for EIT to be part of a dedicated software company. We feel that a renewed focus on core business will benefit Grupo Villar Mir and EIT. For us, the continuation of the company was key when looking for a new owner. In TSS, we found a perpetual owner. We feel that TSS can give EIT the right basis to continue its future.”
Carlos Lafitte, Managing Director at EIT: „At EIT, we are looking forward to being part of a software group. Over the years, as part of Grupo Villar Mir, we have been very close to our clients and have become experts in the needs within the industrial verticals where they operate. At TSS, they know how to run successful VMS companies, so it will be exciting to dive deeper into that side of the business, sharing knowledge and best practices.
We look forward to collaborating and growing our business within the TSS group while ensuring continuity for the company, our clients, and our employees.“
