Terms of the acquisition were not given. But the acquisition means the Dayton company’s portfolio of companies now spans 28 countries, focusing on interactive displays, AI-driven analytics, and customer-facing content management technology for retail, hospitality, and public-sector customers.
Sned is expected to put its LED display technology to work for Stratacache in France as well as Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, supporting Stratacache’s European pharmacy retail media company iDklic.
“We are seeing a huge demand for screens and integrated systems in pharmacies and other retail spaces as more brands and stores see the massive opportunities that open up when you activate digital signage at point of sale,” Jean-Charles Figoni, founder and chief executive of iDKlic, said in a Stratacache release. “With Sned, we will be able to help partners to not only grow their retail media capabilities but also strengthen their customer communications more effectively.”
Dmytro Ahratina, president of Sned, added: “It is tremendous to say that we are now part of the Stratacache family. We are a passionate, collaborative and knowledgeable team who have built a strong reputation over the last decade. With Stratacache, we have an opportunity to deepen our skill set event further and play a key role in some exciting upcoming activations.”
The Dayton company said the acquisition reinforces its place within Europe. Sned will maintain its brand identity and, Scala — a company Stratacache acquired nearly a decade ago — will oversee administration and operations.
Even as Stratacache grows globally, its real estate arms purchased a downtown Dayton building at 110 N. Main St. (in late 2023) and Stratacache Tower, which Riegel bought in 2019.
With that local purchase, Stratacache CEO Chris Riegel’s real estate businesses controlled (or were positioned to control) buildings on three of four corners of the core downtown intersection of Second and Main streets.
