Congatec, a provider of computer-on-module technology for embedded and edge computing, is acquiring a 96 percent stake in Kontron subsidiary Jumptec through a capital increase. At the same time, the module subsidiaries in the USA and Malaysia are being taken over, and a partnership with Kontron is being formed.

It was not long ago that Kontron's management announced the revival of the Jumptec name and the consolidation of the module business under this brand—that was in January 2025. Since then, the Jumptec subsidiary has been offering the standardized and custom portfolio of computer-on-modules (COMs) according to the COM Express, COM-HPC, Smarc, and Qseven standards. Specialized services such as baseboard design, testing support, as well as comprehensive production and assembly services, were also made available.

Now, on July 1, 2025, Kontron announces that Congatec is acquiring 96 percent of Jumptec through a capital increase. Congatec is a globally renowned provider of COM technology for embedded and edge computing. Since May 2025, Kontron has already been producing COMs for Congatec worldwide. This offers advantages in cost structure, delivery capability, and dealing with geopolitical challenges such as tariffs or local market requirements.

The signing and closing occurred simultaneously, with the commercial registration expected shortly, the companies announced. As part of the equity transaction, Congatec not only takes over the mentioned shares in Jumptec but also 100 percent of the subsidiaries in the USA (Kontron America Modules LLC) and Malaysia (Kontron Asia Embedded Design Sdn Bhd).

108 million dollars Inflow

The transaction provides Kontron with over €100 million; additionally, the company expects an EBITDA increase of $54 to $76 million in the second quarter of 2025. Should DBAG, which holds Congatec via its Fund VIII, exit in the future, Kontron could also benefit from a performance-based revenue share. The updated EBITDA guidance as well as an adjustment to revenue expectations for the 2025 fiscal year will be published by Kontron with its Q2 figures. In 2024, Jumptec had generated approximately $97 million in revenue.

The collaboration combines technological expertise in the COM sector and ensures Kontron long-term access to high-performance modules. At the same time, in-house manufacturing is strengthened, and the embedded and system solutions portfolio is expanded. (sb)
