siOP\u00adTICA, a lead\u00ading sup\u00adplier for switch\u00adable pri\u00advacy fil\u00adter tech\u00adnol\u00adogy with many appli\u00adca\u00adtions in auto\u00admo\u00adtive pas\u00adsen\u00adgers dis\u00adplays, lap\u00adtops, tablets, mobile phones, and pay\u00adment ter\u00admi\u00adnals secured a new financ\u00ading round of close to 2 mil\u00adlion euros from its cur\u00adrent investors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Switch\u00adable pri\u00advacy screens pro\u00adtect dis\u00adplayed infor\u00adma\u00adtion from neigh\u00adbour\u00ading views with\u00adout the need to carry and apply an extra pri\u00advacy foil. The screen pri\u00advacy modus can be switched on or off by a sin\u00adgle key stroke.<\/p>\n

Based on the unri\u00advalled per\u00adfor\u00admance of siOPTICA\u2019s pri\u00advacy tech\u00adnol\u00adogy, a grow\u00ading appli\u00adca\u00adtion field and increased cus\u00adtomer inter\u00adest, the cur\u00adrent investors decided to increase their invest\u00adment in the com\u00adpany. The investors include the lead investor bm|t (beteili\u00adgungs\u00adman\u00adage\u00adment th\u00fcrin\u00adgen gmbh), Antwerp-based and tech\u00adnol\u00adogy-focused Capital\u2011E as well as well-known busi\u00adness angels, such as for exam\u00adple Revotech GmbH & Co. KG.<\/p>\n

The new invest\u00adment will mainly be used to drive fur\u00adther indus\u00adtri\u00adal\u00adi\u00adsa\u00adtion and high-vol\u00adume man\u00adu\u00adfac\u00adtur\u00ading of the exist\u00ading prod\u00aducts. siOP\u00adTICA will strengthen its prod\u00aduct offer\u00ading for the lap\u00adtop and tablet com\u00adput\u00ading busi\u00adness. The com\u00adpany will also use the new funds to fur\u00adther strengthen its mar\u00adket\u00ading and sales activ\u00adi\u00adties. Last but not least, new pri\u00advacy tech\u00adnolo\u00adgies will be researched and devel\u00adoped allow\u00ading inte\u00adgra\u00adtion with new and upcom\u00ading dis\u00adplay technologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly believe in siOPTICA\u2019s pri\u00advacy fil\u00adters and the team\u2019s capa\u00adbil\u00adity to bring this tech\u00adnol\u00adogy to the mar\u00adket suc\u00adcess\u00adfully,\u201d under\u00adlined Kevin Reeder, CEO of bm|t.<\/p>\n
