Atego, the supplier of development tools for complex, mission and safety-critical embedded systems, has acquired a C++ tool specialist based in Germany called Blue River Software.
Atego, is the design software company which resulted from the recent merger of UK-based Artisan Software Tools and Aonix from California.
According to James Gambrell, executive chairman of Atego, the acquisition of Blue River will expand the company’s capabilities and customer base in the embedded design market, particularly in Germany.
In November, Artisan Software Tools acquired Germany-based Extessy, a supplier of development tools for co-simulation, integration and test.
Blue River was founded in 1993 as a supplier of software tools for embedded C++ system development. Its main markets are the German automotive, engineering automation, telecommunication and measurement/control industries.
All of the Blue River team will join Atego. Blue River will work with Atego’s German headquarters in Wolfsburg, while retaining its regional offices in Nürnberg.
“Blue River will add C++ development tools to the solutions and services Atego is able to offer to its customers as well as expand its market share in Germany and beyond,” said Thomas Groß, CEO of Blue River Software.
Its product portfolio includes the E32, X32 family and DOCU32 development tools for C/C++.
As well as C/C++, the Blue River tools also support C#, JAVA, PASCAL, PL/M and ASSEMBLER development and integrate with all major compilers, including Atego’s Aonix PERC.
Atego is headquartered in the US and UK with offices in France, Germany and Italy.
