OPTESSA SOFTWARE acquired by EYELIT TECHNOLOGIES
Context
Eyelit Technologies, a portfolio company of Banneker Partners, has completed the 100% acquisition of Optessa Software. The transaction serves as a strategic tuck-in to expand Eyelit’s product portfolio, adding critical planning and scheduling capabilities to its existing execution-focused software suite. The acquisition represents a move toward "closed-loop" manufacturing, unifying planning (Optessa) with execution (Eyelit).
