The German entity of TechBuddy acquires Expertiger, the Munich-based company for PC help

Munich, 7 December 2021--The German entity of TechBuddy, a leading tech support company in Europe, announced today that it has acquired 100% of Expertiger GmbH, a German company offering instant remote computer support on the phone or through remote access.  

With over 100,000 completed tasks, TechBuddy has established itself as a trusted brand for technical support in Sweden, Spain, Germany and Israel. The acquisition of Expertiger is yet another step in TechBuddy’s "buy-and-build" strategy and enables the company to offer remote tech support, in addition to the on-site service offering. Remote service is particularly relevant during the pandemic, as it does not require an in-person interaction with customers.

Expertiger offers professional PC help for private customers and small businesses. The support inquiries are forwarded directly to specialists via a marketplace model, who then solve all issues directly on the phone or through remote access. There are currently more than 60 independent computer specialists working for the company.

“Expertiger is well established in Germany and offers support on the phone and via remote access for a constantly growing customer base of 30,000 customers. The acquisition will strengthen TechBuddy’s position as one of the leading companies for on-site and remote support in the DACH region ”, says Dominik Lerch, Country Manager Germany at TechBuddy. "In addition, we see great potential to quickly roll out Expertiger's services in Switzerland and Austria as well as in other areas."

“Our specialists have already helped over 30,000 customers in the past few years. As part of TechBuddy, we now also offer our customers a convenient way to solve technical problems directly on site,” explains Lutz Küderli, Managing Director of Expertiger. "With the strong, international brand of TechBuddy and the excellent customer understanding of Expertiger, we can exploit the potential of the tech support market in Germany even better."

Expertiger will operate as a separate division under its own brand within TechBuddy’s service business.
