"We have long admired Hexagon's technology portfolio and team," Habibi added. "There is strong technology and cultural fit across our two organizations, and we are excited to join forces with Hexagon to deliver more value to customers and empower the autonomous future."
The acquisition represents a new cybersecurity-focused business segment within Hexagon's PPM division, which will also provide opportunities with other Hexagon divisions. The process safety solutions brought to Hexagon from PAS will be integrated into the PPM owner operator line of business.
