Gorilla Technology Group to Acquire Global Video Analytics Provider SeeQuestor Limited
November 03 2022 - 4:15PM
Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (“Gorilla”) (NASDAQ: GRRR), a global
provider of AI based edge video analytics, IoT technologies, and
cybersecurity, has agreed terms for the acquisition of SeeQuestor
Limited (“SeeQuestor”), a global provider of video analytics
technology. The all-stock transaction is subject to customary
completion conditions, regulatory approvals, and a majority
approval from SeeQuestor’s shareholders. The acquisition advances
Gorilla’s strategy to become a global leader in advanced AI video
analytics for security and surveillance with unrivaled
capabilities, a strong product portfolio and a solid pipeline.
Formed in 2014 as a provider of automated video
post-event analysis supporting domestic police investigations,
U.K.-based SeeQuestor has developed advanced video analytics
technology. SeeQuestor’s global client base spans the U.K., Canada,
the Middle East and South-East Asia. SeeQuestor’s flagship
real-time video analytics product enables law enforcement agencies
and security companies to automatically monitor thousands of
cameras in one unified platform. Their solution helps identify
faces, bodies, threats, objects and vehicles and sends real-time
alerts enabling security and surveillance companies to reduce their
turnaround time and provide a safer environment.
The acquisition moves Gorilla up the value chain
in the video analytics market to become one of the leading global
providers of advanced AI-based video analytics solutions for
improved security and safety. SeeQuestor’s technology complements
Gorilla’s edge AI real time data capture and analysis. The combined
company can offer more integrated services and thus better compete
against larger vendors.
“This acquisition perfectly aligns with our
strategy and vision, as SeeQuestor is an exciting addition to our
existing technology portfolio. With extensive expertise and
advanced video analytics technology, SeeQuestor will further
enhance our AI analytics and security convergence solutions. Their
technological know-how and uniqueness have allowed it to develop
highly innovative and competitive solutions for their clients,”
said Gorilla Chairman & CEO, Jay Chandan. “We believe
SeeQuestor’s strong technology team and product offering will help
us to compete more effectively against larger global providers.
This deal takes us one step closer to becoming the platform service
provider of choice, for edge AI and IT/OT Security
Convergence.”
“Our Board unanimously supports this
transaction” says Scott Eaton, Chairman of SeeQuestor. “It
represents a fabulous opportunity for the team, and it is a great
outcome for shareholders.”
Thibaud Weick, CEO of SeeQuestor, said, “This
announcement marks the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for
SeeQuestor. We will be even better positioned to accelerate product
development and expand our offering for the benefit of the broader
market, now that we are part of a leading-edge AI security
technology provider that is publicly traded on a major U.S. stock
exchange.”
