Bosch Building Technologies plans to acquire Baden-Württemberg-based DMS Digitale AG. DMS AG is a specialist in building, industrial, process and room automation, and building and energy management. The acquisition is subject to approval by the relevant regulatory authorities.

With the purchase of DMS AG, Bosch Building Technologies intends to strengthen its building automation portfolio. The acquisition complements the 2019 and 2022 purchases of GFR Gesellschaft für Regelungstechnik und Energieeinsparung – now Bosch Building Automation GmbH – and Hörburger GmbH. Last year, Bosch Building Technologies grew by 25 percent in the building automation sector in Germany, significantly outperforming the market.

With the acquisition of DMS AG, Bosch Building Technologies has added process automation to its range of solutions, becoming a full-service provider for industrial manufacturing companies. The portfolio includes integrated and cross-domain solutions in the areas of building security, building automation, energy efficiency, sustainability consulting and digital services.

“With DMS AG, another building automation specialist with highly qualified and experienced associates complements our system integrator business. Together, we want to expand our existing portfolio for industrial customers and develop new forward-looking solutions and services that will enable the economical and sustainable operation of industrial buildings through to production,” said Thomas Quante, president of Bosch Building Technologies. “We are very pleased to be part of Bosch Building Technologies in the future. Together, we can generate new added value for industrial customers,” said Jörg Hössl, CEO of DMS AG.

DMS AG has more than 40 years of experience in the development, planning, programming, installation, operation and maintenance of control technology. The brand-agnostic specialist implements intelligent automation solutions based on the latest technologies to safely, reliably, and efficiently control and regulate building and process engineering systems. The company’s technologies can be found in complex manufacturing plants, data centres and research and development facilities of well-known companies.
