They have entered into discussions regarding Congatec's investment in Jumptec. For efficiency in structuring the transaction, Congatec filed a notice of intent in Germany and Austria last week, although no final agreement has yet been reached nor have the contractual documents been drafted.

If the implementation is successful, congatec will acquire a majority stake in JUMPtec and Kontron America Modules, LLC. Kontron could realize a profit of several million euros as part of the deconsolidation. The exact amount cannot yet be estimated at this stage of negotiations. JUMPtec generated approximately 90 million euros in revenue in 2024. Contract negotiations are expected to conclude in the coming weeks. Kontron's subsidiary, JUMPtec GmbH, and congatec GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Deutsche Beteiligungs AG, are developers of COM for embedded computing (COMexpress, COM-HPC, SMARC, Q7).

In mid-May, the two companies agreed to intensify their cooperation, with the Kontron Group taking over supply chain management, production, and logistics for the congatec Group, which does not have its own factory. Due to the similarity of the COM modules and the larger production volumes, both Kontron and congatec expect to gain cost advantages and will be able to actively manage the effects of current tariff trends, particularly in the US, thanks to Kontron's production facilities there.

This evolution is also the result of congatec's strategy of applying a local approach to the local market for geopolitical reasons, while also considering international trade and growing customer demand. On the one hand, Kontron will be able to make better use of its production facilities, and on the other, it will be able to draw on a broader technology portfolio thanks to joint participation in its systems products.
