Vitamin Media S.A., a member of the Softweb S.A. Group, announces the acquisition, through its own funds, of 100% of the corporate shares of DevOcean I.K.E., for a total consideration of €35,000.

This strategic acquisition is part of the Softweb Group’s broader strategy to develop a pioneering technology and communications ecosystem that will become a leading force in the market of Ecosymmetry. Through this move, Vitamin Media substantially strengthens its portfolio by establishing a dedicated Web Development business unit, capable of delivering end-to-end projects for the development of technologically advanced websites, B2C/B2B e-commerce platforms and digital portals.

The acquisition of DevOcean is not simply an expansion of services, but rather a combination of experience and expertise. With extensive experience in Web Development and technical SEO, having delivered more than 180 projects across all sectors of the economy, DevOcean will strengthen and complement the existing technological capabilities of the Softweb Group. At the same time, the Group’s ability to provide holistic digital presence solutions is enhanced, combining specialised UX/UI designers, full-stack web developers and digital consultants.

This acquisition represents the natural evolution of the three-year strategic partnership between Vitamin Media and DevOcean, during which the two companies jointly delivered a wide range of successful projects.
