IRVINE, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — November 7, 2017 — Digital Map Products, Inc. (“DMP”), a pioneer in geospatial mapping technology and intelligence, announces it has acquired Mexico Business Directory (“MBD”). Founded in 1995, MBD is the largest fully geocoded information database for business locations in Mexico, with approximately 1.6 million records.
The acquisition is in-line with DMP’s strategy to significantly expand its global geographic footprint, starting with North America. In July of this year, DMP began fulfilling its strategy to the north, acquiring DMTI Spatial (“DMTI”) from Neopost Canada. DMTI is Canada’s market leader in location intelligence and data quality. The newly-acquired addition of the MBD database further extends this strategy to the south, strengthening DMP’s ability to build out its leading cloud-based platform in geospatial intelligence within Mexico.
“We are thrilled to add Mexico Business Directory to the stable of DMP solutions,” said Jim Skurzynski, chief executive officer at DMP. “Our companies share a drive to innovate and exceed customer expectations that is well aligned with our overall growth strategy. Combining our core strengths with our broadened geographic footprint throughout North America enables us to offer expanded capabilities to our growing and diverse customer base.”
MBD customers around the world rely on MBD’s business database, and with the acquisition, DMP will now be able to offer customers the ability to integrate the data with the company’s robust location intelligence solutions.
“After starting Mexican Business Directory 22 years ago and guiding its growth and development, I am excited to be seeing what is possible for the future,” said Steven White, founder and owner of MBD. “By combining a strong database with the innovative and powerful location intelligence solutions of DMP, companies across the globe will have access to a very powerful solution for decision making.”
Founded in 2000, DMP continues to grow in part due to its commitment to bringing the power of location to more than 350,000 users in a variety of end markets, including real estate, government, technology, and utilities. Today, the company’s geospatial mapping technology, applications, and content enable four out of the six top real estate portals, four out of the top five commercial brokerage firms, all 10 of the top home builder brands, more than 200 hundred cities and counties, and four of the largest gas and electric utility companies in the United States, by embedding geospatial capabilities in everyday workflows.
DMP recently received a strategic growth investment from Silversmith Capital Partners and is actively using the capital to continue investing in the development and acquisition of DMP’s proprietary land ownership database and accompanying workflow tools.
DMP was advised by Choate Hall & Stewart LLP. Sapient Capital Partners was financial advisor and Loopstra Nixon LLP was legal advisor to Mexico Business Directory. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
