embedded world, Nuremberg, 26 February 2013 * * * congatec AG, a leading manufacturer of embedded computer modules, is partnering with Prevas to drive sales and innovation in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

Prevas is a renowned solution provider in the Nordic region with a long history of success in embedded systems, industrial IT and consulting services. As a Freescale partner, Prevas is an experienced supplier of innovative ARM solutions, making the company a particularly good fit for congatec. In addition, Prevas has already gained lots of relevant experience from the development of own hardware modules and customized Linux operating systems such as open embedded.

“Prevas was founded in 1985 with the aim of helping customers grow through innovation. Since then, the company itself has experienced steady growth as a result of continuous innovation. This approach ties in perfectly with congatec’s own growth/strategy plans, and we look forward to joining forces with Prevas to bring innovative module solutions to our Nordic customer base,” comments Bernd Hacker, VP Sales & Marketing, congatec AG.

Prevas anticipates great benefits for itself and its customers from the cooperation with congatec. Prevas will be implementing the conga-QMX6 in future ARM-based solutions with high-performance requirements, in combination with carrier board developments, OS and application designs. The first projects are already under way. ”A general trend in the industry are requirements for shorter time to market, lower development cost, longer product life cycles and reduction of project risk. One way of addressing these issues is to use industrial computer modules, and design a customized solution that fits the customer’s specific needs. The combination of congatec as a leader in industrial computer modules and Prevas as a leading system integrator for embedded systems makes a strong offering to the industrial market. We at Prevas are very excited about this new partnership,” comments Jonas Mann, Senior Vice President, Prevas AB.
