Trapeze Group fully integrates Trapeze-IMS

In 2012, Trapeze Group acquired the Swiss communications specialist INFO MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AG (IMS) with headquarters in Winterthur, Switzerland, which continued its operations as an autonomous Trapeze subsidiary. Now the company has been fully integrated in the Trapeze Group. At the same time, IMS has moved to new business premises at the European headquarters of Trapeze in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Switzerland.

In September 2012, the Trapeze Group acquired the communications specialist IMS Info Management Systems AG based in Winterthur, Switzerland, which since then has continued its operations as an autonomous Trapeze subsidiary.
