Smeup accelerates in the logistics and transport sector by acquiring 100% of Htg

Smeup, a technology partner for the digitalisation of businesses, has acquired 100% of Htg's shares, a company based in Turin specialising in the development of proprietary software dedicated to the logistics and transport sector.

With annual revenue of approximately 2 million euros, Htg is an established and continually evolving business, capable of combining specialist expertise, technological innovation and customer focus—qualities that make the company a valuable asset for Smeup, in line with its expansion strategy.

The transaction therefore represents a further step in the Group's growth journey and fits perfectly into the industrial plan “Smeup Unbound 2030”, which aims to strengthen the company's presence in vertical markets through investment in intellectual property and specialist expertise.

A strategic investment

Htg's entry confirms one of the strategic directions of the industrial plan: investing in proprietary products that enable the company to offer customers increasingly specialised and innovative solutions capable of meeting the needs of individual market sectors.

Smeup has always combined system integration with the development of proprietary software, convinced that knowledge of business processes and control of intellectual property are distinguishing factors in creating value over the long term.

Htg shares this vision and brings to the Group a wealth of expertise, experience and application solutions dedicated to the world of logistics and transport, further strengthening Smeup's software portfolio.

Strengthening in logistics and transport

The acquisition consolidates Smeup's presence in a sector in which the Group has operated for years, supporting companies in logistics, transport and the supply chain on their digital transformation journeys.

With Htg joining the Group, Smeup further expands its wealth of vertical expertise and strengthens its ability to support customers with increasingly integrated, specialised and innovation-oriented solutions.

The transaction also represents a significant investment in the future of the Group's application offering, in a market characterised by growing demand for digitalisation, process automation and software platform integration.
