French technology group 8233 Lacroix has recently made two strategic acquisitions.  The acquisition of Spanish company DSTA gives Lacroix added presence in the variable message signs, traffic signals and  public transport information panels  sector.

SOGEXI, a French supplier of junction and protection devices for lighting and remote management solutions for street lighting maintenance, is also now part of the Lacroix Group.

The purchase expands Lacroix’s business in the traffic management and public transport priority systems within the so-called smart road sector.

In April last year, Lacroix Group enlarged its factory in Kwidzyn, Poland as part of a marketing drive into Eastern Europe. The new factory, employing around 1,100 people, will be home to the company’s electronics division.
