AROBS Transilvania Software (BVB: AROBS), the largest entrepreneurial technology company listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, announces the completion of the merger by absorption of AROBS Development & Engineering, Berg Computers, Nordlogic Software, Infobest Romania, and Centrul de Soft GPS, a strategic initiative launched in December 2025 and approved by shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting dated March 3, 2026. The merger takes effect starting April 1, 2026.
“The completion of this process represents an important step toward simplifying and strengthening the organizational structure of the AROBS Group. Given that the entities involved were already operating within an integrated operational framework, the merger allows us to eliminate redundancies, optimize internal processes, and improve efficiency at Group level. At the same time, this reorganization creates a clearer framework for future development, supported by a simplified structure, rigorous financial discipline, and a better capacity for resource allocation,” stated Voicu Oprean, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of AROBS.
Through this transaction, AROBS legally and operationally integrates the Group entities into a single structure, creating a more efficient framework for coordinating activities and supporting future growth. The absorbed companies are dissolved without liquidation, and AROBS Transilvania Software fully undertakes all their assets, liabilities, rights, and obligations, continuing its activity in its current legal form. The merger does not affect the Group’s operational activity but aims to streamline and simplify it.
The decision to merge is based on the fact that all involved entities are part of the same group and carry out complementary activities, with largely shared operational processes, infrastructure, and resources. In this context, their integration into a single entity allows for the elimination of redundancies and improved coordination at Group level.
The completion of the merger will contribute to optimizing administrative and operational costs, as well as simplifying financial reporting and internal workflows. At the same time, the full integration of activities will enable more efficient use of resources and better alignment of internal processes, including at the level of IT infrastructure and operational procedures. The financial results of the absorbed entities will be fully reflected in the financial statements of AROBS Transilvania Software starting April 1, 2026.
Furthermore, the reorganization contributes to strengthening management capacity and improving the decision-making process by centralizing the coordination of activities and supporting an integrated Group-level strategy. At the same time, the merger facilitates better resource allocation and creates the premises for faster capitalization on growth opportunities. The integration process will continue at the operational level, with a focus on aligning processes and maximizing synergies across the Group.
The merger does not involve any changes to the share capital of AROBS Transilvania Software and does not result in the issuance of new shares, given that the absorbing company held full ownership stakes in the absorbed companies.
AROBS Transilvania Software delivers software services and solutions across multiple industries, with approximately 70 partners within the Software Services division operating across Europe and North America. More than 11,000 clients in Europe and Asia use the company’s software products. AROBS has a presence in 11 locations in Romania and 9 internationally, while over 1,200 specialists are building the solutions of the future in embedded – Automotive, Aerospace, Maritime and Medical – as well as Travel Technology, IoT, Clinical Trials, Fintech, Enterprise Solutions, Cybersecurity and Intelligent Automation.
The story of AROBS Transilvania Software is not merely a chronicle of success; it is a mirror to the transformation of Cluj-Napoca from an industrial centre into a technology hub of European proportions. Over the past 20 years, under the visionary leadership of Voicu Oprean, AROBS has evolved from a team of a few enthusiasts into a stock-market-listed corporation with a presence across three continents, becoming a benchmark for Romanian innovation.
While in 2006 AROBS was a promising player in the local outsourcing market, today, in April 2026, the company is a global provider of complex software solutions. Its expertise spans critical industries such as automotive, aerospace, medical, and fleet management systems. Its evolution has been marked by an aggressive yet calculated growth strategy, based on intelligent acquisitions and the development of proprietary products.
Stages of a Meteoric Rise (2006–2026)
The evolution of AROBS can be divided into three major eras: consolidation as a service provider, diversification through proprietary products, and global expansion via its listing on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB).
| Period | Strategic Focus | Key Achievement |
| 2006 – 2011 | Outsourcing and navigation services. | Partnerships with world leaders and the launch of GPS monitoring solutions. |
| 2012 – 2019 | Diversification and regional acquisitions. | Expansion into Eastern Europe and entry into the Automotive and Life Sciences sectors. |
| 2020 – 2026 | Stock market listing and global expansion. | Acquisition of companies in the Netherlands, Germany, and the USA; workforce growth to over 1,200 employees. |
Innovation as DNA: From Writing Code for Others to Intellectual Property
Unlike many other IT companies that remained stuck in a pure outsourcing model, AROBS understood early on that the future belongs to proprietary products. Over the last 20 years, their Fleet Management division has become a market leader in Romania and a relevant regional player, while their Sales Force Automation (SFA) solutions have revolutionised distribution.
A turning point was the pivot towards the Automotive sector. Currently, software developed in Cluj helps run Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and electric vehicles for some of the world’s largest car manufacturers.
The Impact of Listing on the Bucharest Stock Exchange
The listing on the AeRO market in 2021, followed by the transition to the BVB Main Market in 2023, served as the “fuel” that allowed AROBS to accelerate. The company became a strategic “wanderer” in the Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) market, integrating companies with niche expertise into its ecosystem—ranging from embedded systems development to cybersecurity solutions.
The Pillars of AROBS’ Success in 2026:
-
Organisational Culture: An entrepreneurial approach that encourages innovation at every level.
-
Multi-industry Expertise: The ability to deliver solutions from hardware/embedded levels to complex cloud applications.
-
Global Presence: Offices and development centres covering diverse time zones, ensuring 24/7 support for global clients.
Vision for the Future: AI and Sustainability
In 2026, AROBS is no longer defined solely by lines of code, but by impactful solutions. The company is investing heavily in integrating Artificial Intelligence into its telematics products and developing “Green Tech” solutions, helping transport companies reduce their carbon footprint through optimised routes and efficient resource consumption.
Voicu Oprean, the founder who remains at the helm of this “flagship” of Romanian IT, constantly emphasises that success is not a destination but a journey of continuous adaptation. “We have learned that in technology, the only constant is change, and our agility to reinvent ourselves is what has kept us at the top for two decades,” is the idea governing the group’s strategy.
