The Promob and Focco union represents a very important step in strengthening

the product evolution and will provide even more value to the industry. The

move also reflects the relevance that management tools integrated with design

and production solutions have gained in furniture companies seeking to prepare

for the Industry 4.0 proposal—connecting information in real time to allow for

more efficient management of the entire production chain. Many customers of

both companies that use multiple solutions will benefit of a better integration

of technologies and processes.

"The merger of Promob and Focco will bring more consistency to our customers'

businesses in the Latin America market. By combining our product portfolio,

technology, and talent, we will continue to boost our strategy to provide

innovative solutions to the markets we operate in," states 2020 CEO Mark

Stoever.

Vanderlei Buffon, General Manager at Promob Software Solutions added, "I'm

confident the combination of creativity and knowledge of our teams will bring

great benefits to our customers. Focco is now part of and strengthens Promob's

management strategy. ERP and store management products were already part of

this portfolio, and now they will become even more complete with the union of

the solutions and teams from both brands. I am excited to welcome Focco to the

Promob and 2020 family."

"Focco has always been a visionary, we are very proud of everything that we

accomplished so far and are thrilled to now be part of a global company. We've

worked hard to develop technologies that bring value to the market and we will

continue with this purpose along with our new team," states Evandro Ballico,
