Clichy – France - August 10, 2022
BIC strengthens its R&D Capabilities
in Digital Expression with the acquisition of AMI (Advanced
Magnetic Interaction)
Clichy-France – August 10th, 2022 - BIC announces today that it
has signed an agreement to acquire the share capital of
AMI (Advanced Magnetic
Interaction), a small French company
specializing in augmented interaction technology and the creator of
the ISKN Repaper digital tablet, which allows users to capture
paper writing and drawing in an electronic format. The completion
of the acquisition is contingent upon certain closing conditions.
The closing is expected before the end of Q3 2022.
Created in 2014 by Jean-Luc Vallejo, Tristan Hautson, and
Timothée Jobert, AMI uniquely leverages magnetometric technology to
enable highly accurate, real-time position tracking without the
need for embedded electronics in devices, addressing the increasing
consumer need for user-friendly, sustainable, and secure digital
accessories.
This acquisition strengthens BIC's R&D capabilities
in Digital Expression, one of the
pillars of
BIC's Horizon strategic
plan, and will accelerate the deployment
of AMI's patented technology, notably through B2B activity in
Digital Creative and Consumer Electronics applications.
