Munich, February 9th, 2015 – Bryan, Garnier & Co. GmbH (former Cartagena Capital) has advised the shareholders of OnePhone Germany, a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (“MVNO”), in the sale process. The Company was acquired by Netherlands-based Voiceworks.
Voiceworks, the fast growing VoIP and web technology specialist, is achieving success in the telecom world with its corporate Unified Communications (“UC”) and fixed-mobile-integration services from the cloud. The acquisition of OnePhone Germany is an important step for Voiceworks and ensures local presence in Düsseldorf, while also providing for broader reach throughout Germany.

OnePhone shares this vision. We see great opportunities for our services and our market approach in Germany. Through this acquisition, we are making an important step in our expansion abroad.”
