“We are delighted with the growth results achieved by the Datrix Group in 2021. The consolidated proforma turnover expected recorded a 48% growth compared to 2020, well beyond our expectations, thanks to new customers acquired and the growth of those currently in the portfolio, and the Adapex contribution”
declares Fabrizio Milano d’Aragona, CEO at Datrix.
“We have proved to be very transversal, at sector level and for the size of companies contacting us. This enables us to diversify business and reduce risks with a single customer or sector while, at the same time, increasing the scalability level of our business. Consistent with what we told to the market during the IPO, our internationalization process through M&A is ongoing and we are glad to be able to confirm that the integration within the Group of Adapex, the US tech company specialized in Data Monetization, is continuing in line with our expectations. We expect to see important cross selling results on both existing and new customers starting in 2022. For Datrix, investment in R&D and innovation are the key to support future growth and 2021 was also a turning point for us in that area. I would also like to point out that 2022 has started in the best possible way, the market we operate in, Artificial Intelligence, is not only growing considerably, it is revolutionizing all sectors. At the beginning of the year we announced some important new agreements, for example the one with Sella Personal Credit through our partner OCS, and some historical customers like Nestlé and L’Oréal have renewed their trust in us for 2022. Finally, in line with our growth strategy, we are effectively assessing concrete opportunities for the acquisition of new companies, to join our Group in a synergic manner."
