Company History and the Present
Slovanet is one of the longest operating entities on the telecommunication market. The company was established in its present form in 1999, but the history of its predecessors dates back to 1954. Asseco Central Europe, a member of the Asseco Group, a major transnational group of companies active in information and communication technologies, became Slovanet’s majority shareholder in 2006. SNET, a.s., owned by the company’s original executive management, remained the other major shareholder in Slovanet holding a 49% ownership interest. SNET became the 100% shareholder of Slovanet in 2014 and both companies merged on 1 April 2015, thereby making Slovanet one of the few telecommunications operators with exclusively Slovak capital. The current shareholder’s objective is to continue the company’s growth and its search for new opportunities for development.
Since 2007 Slovanet has implemented a strategy of strategic growth based on acquisitions and continuous investment into the company’s optical and wireless infrastructure. The goal is to transfer a larger and larger share of operations from leased networks to the company’s in-house network or purchased infrastructure. Following the acquisition and integration of WiMAX Telecom and M-Elektronik (2011), Slovanet acquired a majority share of another telecommunications company, MadNet, a.s., active in southwest Slovakia. Slovanet’s most recent acquisition is the PO-MA local cable television network in Banská Štiavnica, which it acquired at the end of 2014. Efforts to integrate acquired networks are combined with modernisation efforts and investments to expand these networks.
