VR exits Janz IT to ACP

When VR acquired its 40% stake in 2002, Janz was an IT hardware distributor. The company has since changed its strategy to IT consulting and services.

During the GP's ownership, the company also strengthened its data storage business, entered the cloud-service business and hired additional staff. Janz acquired competitor Godyo in 2006 and Computer Dienst Jena in 2013.

Following the acquisition by ATP, Janz CEO Wilhelm Stute will leave his role and join ATP's board.
