Netorium AG, provider of integration and software solutions for broadcasters, and dve advanced systems, specialist in high-end IT and media workflows, have merged. Both companies (with their full teams – no need to not have your favourite support!) will continue under the umbrella of netorium AG.
The merger expands both companies’ expertise and portfolio. Netorium contributes its long-standing experience in broadcast IT projects, while dve advanced systems adds workflow solutions for VFX, colour grading, production, and postproduction.
Familiar faces, wider scope
The team and customer contacts of dve advanced systems remain in place and are now part of netorium AG. Customers from both companies gain access to new service areas: dveas clients can now access professional broadcast solutions, while netorium clients benefit from expanded offerings in storage and workflow design.
New business fields and services
The combined portfolio targets additional segments such as archives, NLE production systems, and file management. Netorium plans to strengthen its Managed Services and Managed Support, relying on the expertise of the dveas team.
Executives frame the merger as a commitment to digital transformation in the media industry. Netorium board member Frank Herrmann underlined the shift towards service orientation. His colleague Peter Frantz emphasised the complementary portfolios. Former dveas CEO Jürgen Firsching, now also on the netorium board, stressed continuity of staff and the importance of retaining the team’s expertise.
Market expansion across Europe
The merger explicitly addresses the entire European market. According to the announcement, the move is a “clear commitment to market expansion” with the aim of positioning netorium AG as a leading provider of broadcast and postproduction IT solutions.
Netorium AG was founded in 2002 and has since specialised in tailored IT and media solutions. Its portfolio covers playout, storage, streaming, workflows, All-IP solutions, AI for media, content enrichment, and pro audio platforms. The company works closely with public and private broadcasters as well as other media organisations undergoing digital transformation.
Dve advanced systems, meanwhile, built a reputation as a provider of high-end media and IT technology, with a focus on workflows for VFX, colour grading, production, and postproduction. Its core strength lay in designing and delivering specialised solutions for demanding creative and technical environments. With the merger, this expertise is now absorbed into netorium AG’s broader service portfolio.
