Digimarc Corporation Completes Acquisition of EVRYTHNG Ltd.
The acquisition unites the world's most powerful product identification engine with the industry's most advanced product
intelligence cloud platform
BEAVERTON, Ore. - January 3, 2022 -
Digimarc Corporation
(Nasdaq: DMRC), creator of Digimarc
watermarks that are driving the next generation of digital identification and detection-based solutions, announced today it has successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of the Product Cloud company
EVRYTHNG
Ltd, based in
London, UK.
As EVRYTHNG becomes part of Digimarc, it enables a complete solution set for customers, combining the best form of identification with the
best cloud platform for gaining and managing the intelligence unlocked by that identification of objects.
"This acquisition is transformative to our
business", explains Digimarc CEO Riley McCormack. "EVRYTHNG's market-leading product cloud offering provides Digimarc entrée into a potentially enormous market at the cusp of inflection, powers up our ability to sell
robust, fully-integrated solutions that no one else can offer, and provides future cross-selling opportunities by providing more
on-ramps to
our dual platforms. In addition to adding 65
talented and passionate individuals to our team, we can leverage the complementarity of our geographic presence, expanding our ability to serve our increasingly-global customer base while also increasing our ability to attract and retain
the best talent world-wide".
EVRYTHNG is the market leader and pioneered the Product Cloud category, linking every product item to its Active Digital
Identity
™
on the web and
joining-up
product data across the value chain for visibility, validation, real time intelligence and connection with people.
From enabling more sustainable, more transparent and more secure supply chains to empowering consumers to verify the authenticity of products and
recyclability of its packaging, combining Digimarc's unique means of identification with the EVRYTHNG Product Cloud
®
makes it possible to gather and apply traceability data from across
the product lifecycle, unlocking
end-to-end
visibility and authenticity through item-level, real-time intelligence and analytics.
The acquisition expands the geographic footprint for both companies. EVRYTHNG, based in London with offices in New York, Beijing, Minsk, and Lausanne is
finding much success in North America. Conversely, Digimarc, based in the Portland, Oregon area, has a growing customer base across Europe.
Additional
Transaction Details
Upon completion of the acquisition, Digimarc acquired all of EVRYTHNG's outstanding share capital and EVRYTHNG became a
wholly owned subsidiary of Digimarc. Additional details and information about the terms and conditions of the acquisition will be available in a current report on Form
