Quentic adds 15 years of EHSQ excellence to AMCS’s portfolio
Markus Becker (CEO), Sebastian Mönnich (COO) and Hardy Menzel (CTO) founded Quentic as a software for environmental management (formerly EcoIntense) in 2007. Today, Quentic provides a holistic and modular Software as a Service solution to manage all tasks and processes related to environmental, health, safety, and quality management (EHSQ) as well as corporate responsibility-related areas in environment, social and governance (ESG). Quentic’s path to becoming one of the leading solution providers in the industry was supported in several stages by One Peak and Morgan Stanley Expansion Capital, as well as the German High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF).
Together with AMCS, the management team will continue to shape the future with a combined portfolio of solutions. “We have built Quentic on the values of making a meaningful contribution to people, society and the environment”, Markus Becker, CEO of Quentic said. “Therefore, we are excited to have found a partner in AMCS who fully aligns with our mission to digitally empower companies across the globe to manage people, business and environmental processes sustainably at all levels. This step is an outstanding opportunity for Quentic to further strengthen its brand and position in the EHSQ and ESG software market.”
Leveraging expertise to fueling a net zero carbon future
Quentic and AMCS will substantially profit from each other’s expertise and competence in the market. Managing resources from cradle-to-cradle has become a key responsibility for companies across all industries globally. The integration of the companies enables customers on both sides to profit from a wide range of solutions that support end-to-end standardization and optimization of business processes to increase efficiencies, streamline operations and work toward a safe and sustainable future.
