Since August 2025, Peerox has been part of the tracetronic Group. For our customers, this primarily means greater security, increased stability, and expanded opportunities — ranging from long-term planning reliability to the successful execution of large-scale rollout projects.
Developing enterprise software is challenging — technically, professionally, and economically. Building a product that delivers real value requires years of investment in development, quality assurance, sales, and customer support. Manufacturing companies rightly have high expectations in these areas, and we are committed to meeting them.
From an early stage, it was clear to us that if we wanted MADDOX to fundamentally transform knowledge management in manufacturing over the long term, we would need not only conviction and dedication but also the right financial and strategic foundation.
Initial public funding through the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy’s EXIST Research Transfer program, combined with strong early customer projects, enabled us to rapidly transform Fraunhofer research results into a reliable industrial software solution. MADDOX was adopted by an increasing number of customers, allowing us to build trust in the market step by step.
A major milestone followed in 2023 when we welcomed our first strategic investment partners: Sächsische Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH (SBG) and Technologiegründerfonds Sachsen (TGFS). and Their support enabled us to expand our development and sales activities in a targeted manner and initiate the next phase of growth.
As our relevance in the market increased, so did our responsibility. With every new customer, not only did our own standards rise — expectations regarding stability, reliability, and long-term security grew as well.
This is entirely understandable. When making significant software investments, customers are looking not only for a powerful solution but also for the confidence that it is backed by a stable, capable, and resilient company. This perspective becomes especially important for large-scale rollouts, strategic digitalization initiatives, and enterprise environments.
With this in mind, we entered discussions with tracetronic in 2025. tracetronic is a highly successful software company based in Dresden with nearly 20 years of experience and a true regional success story. Throughout many open and trust-based conversations, it became clear that we share much more than technological interests. We also share a common understanding of quality, sustainable growth, and partnership-driven collaboration.
The fact that tracetronic engaged in these discussions and ultimately decided to acquire a majority stake in Peerox represents far more than a structural business decision for us. We view this step as a recognition of what we have built over the past years and as a strong vote of confidence in our team, our technology, our product, and our future potential.
Established and successful software companies do not make such decisions by chance. They do so because they believe in the people, the technology, the product, and the opportunities that lie ahead.
This also carries an important message for our customers: what we have achieved so far is not only considered a success internally but is also recognized by a strong market player as valuable, sustainable, and future-oriented.
We openly admit that this step was not an easy one at first. Naturally, questions arise in such a situation. Could we have succeeded independently? Would another path have been possible?
Today, we can confidently say: it was the right decision at the right time.
Since August 2025, Peerox has officially been part of the tracetronic Group while continuing to operate as an independent limited liability company (GmbH). We have not regretted this step for a single moment. On the contrary.
For our customers, this development primarily means greater security, stronger capabilities, and enhanced future prospects.
For us, this is not a story about giving up independence. It is a story about responsibility and continuous development. Responsibility toward our team. Responsibility toward our product. And above all, responsibility toward our customers, who place their trust in us through their projects, processes, and investments.
With the support of a strong majority shareholder, we can achieve significantly more today:
Peerox remains Peerox — with the same conviction, the same customer focus, and the same commitment to delivering value through our product.
The difference is that today we operate with stronger backing, greater stability, and additional opportunities.
And that is the most important message for our customers:
By choosing Peerox, you are partnering with a company that is not only innovative but now also more resilient, more capable, and better positioned for the future — a company whose journey and potential have been explicitly validated by a strong and successful partner.
We look forward to the next chapter — and to writing many more success stories together with our customers.
