AROBS Transilvania Software (BVB: AROBS), the largest entrepreneurial technology company listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, announces the appointment of Adina Suciu as Group Chief Transformation and Integration Officer. In this role, Adina Suciu will coordinate the integration and operational transformation process of the acquired companies, ensuring that they operate as a unified group, with scalable processes and enhanced value creation for clients, colleagues, as well as investors, supporting the Group’s strategic objective of strengthening its position on international markets.

“In recent years, AROBS has gone through an accelerated expansion phase, driven both by organic growth and the integration of complementary companies within the Group.

Adina Suciu’s experience in organizational transformation, operational scaling, and the coordination of international teams will contribute to strengthening the way we collaborate and operate across the Group, while also supporting the capitalization of the opportunities generated by AROBS’ expansion,” stated Voicu Oprean, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of AROBS.

Adina Suciu has more than 20 years of experience in financial services, technology, and private equity across European and international markets. Prior to joining AROBS, she served as Co-CEO of Accesa, a German company specialized in software services and digital transformation, where she coordinated the company’s growth strategy, software services delivery, operational transformation, and the development and expansion of operations, contributing to the company’s growth and the integration of operations in the context of M&A processes. In addition, Adina Suciu held management positions within companies such as Wolters Kluwer, a global software product company, and Palmer Capital, gaining extensive experience in coordinating international teams, organizational transformation, operational integration, strategic development, and governance across the technology, financial services, and private equity sectors.

“Over the past years, AROBS has built a remarkable portfolio of companies and talent, while the Group’s teams have already laid strong foundations for integration. I am joining this effort with the responsibility of continuing what has already been built and accelerating the next stage by maximizing the growth potential and synergies across the Group’s companies, in order to build a stronger and more unified organization together,” stated Adina Suciu, Chief Transformation and Integration Officer of AROBS.

In her new role, Adina Suciu will be responsible for coordinating the integration processes of the Group’s companies, with the objective of aligning operational structures, optimizing collaboration between teams, and implementing common processes that support the organization’s efficiency and scalability. At the same time, she will contribute to leveraging the synergies resulting from M&A transactions, the operational integration of the Group’s entities, and the support of organizational transformation and operational development initiatives across AROBS.

Throughout 2025 and in the first months of 2026, AROBS continued its expansion strategy through acquisitions and operational consolidation at Group level. The transactions completed include the acquisition of SVT Electronics, which expanded the Group’s capabilities in software solutions for transport and logistics, the acquisition of a majority stake in Codingscape, which strengthened AROBS’ presence in the United States market, as well as the acquisition of GESS Engineering, through which the Group enhanced its automotive engineering capabilities. At the beginning of 2026, AROBS also acquired Quest Global Romania, a transaction that expanded the Group’s expertise in segments such as semiconductors, medical devices, and embedded systems.

The story of AROBS Transilvania Software is a quintessential tale of post-communist entrepreneurial spirit. What began in 1998 as a small team in a Cluj-Napoca apartment has evolved into the largest tech company listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange, marking Romania’s transition from a low-cost outsourcing destination to a hub for high-end intellectual property and global innovation.

 In the late 1990s, while the Romanian economy was still finding its footing, Voicu Oprean founded AROBS with a vision that went beyond simple coding. Today, as the company operates across Europe, North America, and Asia, it stands as a testament to the “Cluj tech miracle,” proving that Romanian engineering can compete at the highest levels of the global automotive, clinical trials, and fleet management industries.

The early years: pioneering the software services model (1998–2005)

The inception of AROBS coincided with the birth of the Romanian IT sector. In its first seven years, the company focused on building trust with international clients, primarily in the Western European market. During this era, AROBS established its core philosophy: shifting from “working for hire” to becoming a strategic partner.

By 2003, the company had already begun specializing in complex areas such as mobile applications—long before the smartphone revolution—and travel technology, laying the groundwork for its future diversification.

Diversification and the rise of fleet management (2006–2015)

The second decade of AROBS was defined by a bold move: creating its own products. While many Romanian IT firms remained stuck in the outsourcing model, AROBS launched its fleet management division.

Milestones during the growth phase:

  • TrackGPS: This product became a market leader in South-Eastern Europe, providing real-time tracking and telematics for thousands of businesses.

  • Automotive Specialization: AROBS entered the highly demanding automotive software sector, developing embedded systems for some of the world’s leading car manufacturers.

  • Regional Expansion: The company opened offices in Oradea, Târgu Mureș, and Iași, tapping into the diverse talent pools across Romania.

The acquisition spree and listing on the Stock Exchange (2018–2026)

The most transformative period for AROBS began around 2018. The company adopted an aggressive “Buy and Build” strategy, acquiring several smaller tech firms to expand its expertise in specialized niches like Life Sciences, IoT, and Fintech.

Key Acquisition Area Strategic Value Global Reach
Nordic Group (Enea) Expertise in embedded systems and medical tech. US and Northern Europe.
Infobest Strengthening the German-speaking market presence. Germany and Benelux.
Future WorkForce Integration of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Global automation services.

In December 2021, AROBS made history by listing on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB). By 2026, it has solidified its position on the Main Market, attracting significant institutional investors and becoming a benchmark for the Romanian IT sector’s maturity.

The 2026 Vision: Aerospace and Intellectual Property

Today, AROBS is no longer just a “software house.” Under Oprean’s leadership, the company has ventured into high-stakes industries such as aerospace and defense, contributing to European space missions and advanced satellite technology.

The focus has shifted heavily toward Intellectual Property (IP). Instead of just selling hours of work, AROBS sells proprietary solutions, a move that has significantly increased its profit margins and global prestige.
