Berlin, Dortmund, 2 June 2008 – PSI AG announced today that the Group has acquired 100 % of the shares of F/L/S Fuzzy Logik Systeme GmbH (F/L/S), from the existing shareholder and company founder. The company is headquartered in Dortmund, Germany’s leading logistics location. F/L/S, which has 16 employees, specialises in software systems for intelligent decision support and process optimisation. As a leading company in this field, F/L/S’s clients include numerous major enterprises in the automotive and mechanical engineering sectors.
