congatec acquires majority stake in Kontron subsidiary JUMPtec
Kontron and congatec have agreed to become 96% shareholder of Kontron’s subsidiary JUMPtec by means of a capital increase. The signing and closing took place at the same time and the registration under commercial law will take place shortly. congatec is a portfolio company of DBAG (Deutsche Beteiligungs AG) Fund VIII.
Through the investment, congatec holds 96% of JUMPtec and 100% of the subsidiaries Kontron America Modules LLC, USA and Kontron Asia Embedded Design Sdn Bhd, Malaysia. The transactions will presumably lead to cash inflows of more than EUR 100 million at Kontron. Furthermore, EBITDA in Q2 2025 will increase by EUR 50-70 million. In the event of DBAG’s exit from congatec, Kontron will benefit from additional performance-related proceeds. The correspondingly improved EBITDA guidance and an adjustment of the revenue expectation for the full year 2025 will be available when the results for the second quarter 2025 are published. JUMPtec generated sales of around EUR 90 million in 2024.
“The cooperation bundles technological expertise and secures us access to high-performance modules in the long term,” says Hannes Niederhauser, CEO of Kontron AG. “At the same time, we are strengthening our production and expanding our range of embedded and system solutions.”
Kontron has been producing COMs for congatec at international locations since May 2025. Global manufacturing brings advantages in terms of costs, delivery capability and the response to geopolitical challenges such as tariffs or local market requirements.
