Fujitsu Acquires GK Software – Powered by DFIN Venue

Fujitsu Limited, a leading global technology company headquartered in Japan, announced on 27 May 2025 the successful completion of its acquisition of GK Software, a Germany‑based retail technology leader, in a public takeover valued at approximately €432 million.

Following completion, GK Software becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fujitsu Group. The transaction brings together Fujitsu’s global technology capabilities with GK’s market‑leading retail software, which currently serves more than a quarter of the world’s top 50 retailers across 60 countries.

The acquisition strengthens Fujitsu’s strategic growth under Fujitsu Uvance, enhancing its Consumer Experience offering through GK’s industry‑leading POS and SaaS solutions, including AI‑powered price optimisation. Continuity in leadership is maintained, with GK’s existing management team remaining in place to support the next phase of growth.
