African technology infrastructure and services provider Liquid Intelligent Technologies, a business of Cassava Technologies, on Tuesday, announced the finalisation of its 100 per cent acquisition and delisting of Telrad, an Israeli-based technology company.

In a statement sent to newsrooms, Nic Rudnick, Deputy Chairman, Liquid Intelligent Technologies said, “Earlier this year, Liquid had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Telrad, and I am pleased that we have concluded this transaction. We look forward to the seamless integration of Telrad’s strong R&D programme and technology solutions in cyber security, data centres and wireless access technology with Liquid’s existing portfolio of solutions. Liquid and Telrad share similar ideologies of empowering customers through cost-effective connectivity and technology solutions. Together we will continue to digitally transform businesses globally”.

Moti Elmaliach, Telrad’s CEO said, “Telrad has an incredibly strong track record of success and rich history of innovation. We are excited to join forces and leverage Telrad’s expertise across the full technology value chain along with that of Liquid and the wider Cassava group. This is an exciting step for Telrad,” said Elmaliach, “and an opportunity to innovate and grow exponentially in both the Israeli and international markets”.
