StormGeo Completes Climatempo Acquisition
Monday March 18, 2024
Maritime technology company StormGeo has completed its acquisition of Brazilian meteorological service Climatempo.
StormGeo had taken a 51% stake in the firm in 2019, increased that position to 89.66% in 2023 and now owns 100% of the company, it said in an emailed statement at the start of the week.
StormGeo's aim is to increase its footprint in South America, with a particular focus on Brazilian customers.
"This is an exciting and logical next step in our association with Climatempo and an important move towards becoming a market-leading technology provider for weather-sensitive industries in Latin America," Kim Sørensen, CEO of StormGeo, said in the statement.
