Xitee and the HBSN Group are one hundred percent owned by ]init[ AG for digital communication. The combination will create a new market leader for digitization in public administration and healthcare in Germany.

In recent years, the HBSN Group has developed into a leading IT service provider in the German healthcare sector. Our market environment constantly demands greater specialization, innovative strength and end-to-end services from a single source. In order to be able to continue to offer our customers simple and sustainable digital solutions for the modern healthcare market in the future, the founders and management of the HBSN Group have decided to take an important strategic step.

The HBSN Group, consisting of HBSN GmbH with its subsidiaries HBSN Certifications GmbH in Germany and xitee k.s. as well as xitee Beteiligungs s.r.o. in the Czech Republic, is part of ]init[ AG for digital communication. In the 30 years of its existence, ]init[ AG has developed into a leading digitization provider with a focus on public administration. Its goal is to create sustainable and understandable digital innovations for a society worth living in. ]init[ AG, with over 1,400 employees, is headquartered in Berlin and is also represented at its locations in Bern, Brussels, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig, Mainz, Munich, Porto and Zurich.

"With ]init[ AG's focus on public administration and our focus on the healthcare industry, the companies complement each other perfectly," says Tobias Niemann, founder of the HBSN Group. "Based on a strong product portfolio and the development of another complementary sector, we are continuing the success and growth stories of both companies and creating a unique platform in the German-speaking world."

Statement by Dr. Eckart Pech: "With ]init[ AG, we have found a high-performance shareholder who is an ideal fit for us and significantly strengthens our performance. The combination will create a new market leader for digitization in public administration and healthcare in Germany with more than 1,500 employees at 18 locations."

The previous managing owners of HBSN, Tobias Niemann and Rainer Schuhmacher, are moving to a newly founded advisory board. They advise the company and actively support the integration. Dr. Eckart Pech will assume overall responsibility for the ongoing operational business and thus the chairmanship of the management board for HBSN GmbH.
