Gapwaves acquires Metasum AB
Gapwaves has agreed to acquire the remaining 75% of the shares in Metasum AB. Through the ownership, Gapwaves broaden its patent portfolio with additional waveguide technologies to meet the growing market for advanced radar sensors.
Metasum started in 2017 and has its origin in research at Chalmers University of Technology. The company holds an extended patent portfolio and a technology based on a multi-layer waveguide technology (MLW). Based on the unique technology, Metasum is specialized in design and production of innovative waveguide products suitable for cost-efficient, high-volume production. Gapwaves acquired a minority stake of 25% in Metasum in 2021 and has now agreed to acquire the remaining 75%. The transaction is expected to be completed July 1st, 2022, and will have limited impact on the company's result for 2022. Approximately 90% of the purchase price will be paid with newly issued Gapwaves shares, representing a capital dilution of c. 1,4%. As part of the agreement the seller Abbas Vosoogh will be employed by Gapwaves.
“We are very happy about this acquisition. Gapwaves now has access to an additional patent portfolio and cost-efficient waveguide technology. We broaden our product portfolio and can offer our customers solutions based on various waveguide technologies. I am also very happy to welcome Abbas to Gapwaves and I am confident that he will be a valuable employee”, says Lars-Inge Sjöqvist, CEO of Gapwaves.
