  • Press release
Procilon, a specialized provider of secure communication solutions—particularly for public authorities and operators of critical infrastructure—as well as components for electronic signatures and audit-proof archiving, has acquired POS Solutions (“POS”), the Austrian specialist in digital onboarding, online identification, and electronic signatures.

The merger strengthens Procilon’s product and knowledge leadership in the field of identity verification. The acquisition of POS marks the first transaction under Procilon’s buy-and-build strategy, supported by Main Capital Partners.

POS offers solutions for digital onboarding, online identification, and electronic signatures. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Braunau am Inn (Austria), the company employs around 16 people across its locations in Braunau am Inn (Austria) and Zug (Switzerland). POS serves a diverse customer base, including banks, insurance companies, telecommunications providers, and industrial enterprises across the DACH region. Its solutions comply with international regulations such as eIDAS, ensuring legal certainty and minimizing fraud risks. The company currently serves over 150 customers.

The combination of POS and Procilon expands the joint product portfolio in identity verification and strengthens geographic presence in the DACH region—Procilon is primarily active in Germany and Switzerland, while POS has a strong foothold in Austria. POS’s established market presence and loyal customer base in Austria open complementary geographic coverage and new customer segments for Procilon. This strategic combination reinforces Procilon’s position as an established provider of “Digital Trust” solutions in the DACH region. The integration enhances Procilon’s product portfolio, creates attractive cross-selling opportunities, and fosters customer loyalty through a unified and comprehensive service offering.

With the acquisition of POS Solutions, Procilon is strategically enhancing its market position in identity verification."
