The Business Development Unit (which includes the company Informatics, USA, providing "ready to use" barcode solutions to Small/Mid Businesses) is headquartered in Bologna and deals with the development of new business platforms within the Group and the evaluation of new merger and acquisition opportunities.
Datalogic's Business Development strategy is to promote expansion by pursuing two horizons for growth:
 |
Defending and extending current core business |
|
Building emerging businesses looking towards adjacent markets to integrate upstream and downstream |
The Business Development Unit is also an incubator for nurturing the growth of new businesses within the Group through programs designed to accelerate their successful development and through an array of business support resources and services, designed and orchestrated by incubator management. Successful completion of a business incubation program enables the new business to become part of the strategic operating divisions of the Group. Recent experiences successfully completed are:
- Laservall and EMS which are now part of Datalogic Automation
- EBS which is now part of Datalogic Mobile. |
