A strategic acquisition to expand capacities
Ideagen CEO Ben Dorks expressed his excitement following the acquisition, highlighting the company's ongoing efforts to improve its safety and compliance services. "We have spent the last 12 months strengthening the capabilities we can offer our customers, particularly in the area of worker and contractor safety." He said the addition of Beakon's solutions would enable Ideagen, a company present in the Vintage Altaroc Odyssey 2022 to offer an even wider range of solutions to its international customer base. This acquisition is of particular importance to industries with large transient or contract workforces, where the management of compliance obligations, such as work permits and qualifications, is crucial.
Sam Davies, Beakon's founder and CEO, expressed his enthusiasm, emphasizing that this would enable Beakon to accelerate its expansion into new markets. "Joining the Ideagen team is an exciting opportunity for Beakon. This acquisition will enable us to expand into new markets, improve our ability to serve our international customers, and benefit from valuable resources and expertise to better serve our customers."
This marks Ideagen's fourth acquisition in the last 12 months, and the sixth Australian company to join the company's Asia-Pacific portfolio since the start of 2023.
