    REVO and STaSIS merge

    Got this presser in my morning rounds and thought it might be of interest...

    REVO TECHNIK AND STASIS JOIN FORCES TO DELIVER PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS AROUND THE WORLD

    New Multinational Organization Integrates Industry-Leading Hardware and Software to power Complete Product Lines for Audi and Volkswagen Vehicles

    Daventry, Northamptonshire (March 27, 2012) — Respected automotive software provider REVO Technik announced today the intent to merge its global operations with leading US Audi tuning brand STaSIS. The move will integrate Revo Technik into the American company’s performance technology group, extending its market leadership in braking, suspension, driveline, and engine products to include the finest engine calibration software in the industry. The new multinational organization will deliver performance products through an established network of more than 550 dealerships and independent performance centres in more than 35 countries, reaching Audi and Volkswagen enthusiasts around the world.

    Revo Technik, a Daventry, UK-based company that develops performance software products for Volkswagen Group and Porsche vehicles—including Audi, Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda models—brings a proficiency in engine performance software and accessories to the mix that will expand the breadth and quality of STaSIS technology and engineering and allow the company to deliver a broader and more robust product offering. On-track engineering and test centres in both the U.S. and the UK will speed product development and testing, and the European location will improve access to the most current and high-end vehicle models.

    STaSIS, based in West Virginia, USA, has an enviable reputation for creating holistic, engineering-led solutions for almost the entire range of Audi cars. In its native America, STaSIS’ market standing and exceptional level of finish, detail and ability mean that it now offers turn-key cars through many franchised Audi dealerships, allowing drivers to truly create an individual, tailored vehicle, with full dealer back-up and support, via its ‘Signature Series’.

    “STaSIS and Revo have a common vision—to deliver exceptionally integrated software and hardware products that push the limits of performance and empower enthusiasts around the world,” said Paul Lambert, president and CEO of STaSIS. “Bringing the technologically elite Revo staff on board creates a unique and synergistic mix of racing, OEM supply, and engineering experience that will enable STaSIS to drive our product portfolio to the next level.

    “This acquisition is part of the continuing evolution and improvement of our product line, and extends the strategic consolidation of the Volkswagen Group aftermarket that started with our acquisition of Eurojet last year,” said Todd Cope, CFO of STaSIS. “STaSIS now has the most capability and broadest geographic reach of any performance company in the Volkswagen Group space.”

    As leaders in their fields, both STaSIS and Revo Technik pride themselves in producing the best performance products on the market. The Revo team has considerable expertise in engine control unit (ECU) software development, programming, and performance car tuning, offering products widely considered to be the most advanced tuning software available. Revo also provides technical support to a number of race teams across the globe, competing in series such as the Targa Tasmania Challenge, U.S. World Challenge, and SCCA race series. In June 2011, Revo joined forces with Skoda UK, offering technical support and calibration that enabled Team Skoda to set a new land speed record at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, and win the title of the fastest Skoda in the world. Revo’s ability to provide engine calibrations in the face of extreme climate challenges at Salt Flats reinforces its pedigree as the world’s premier Volkswagen Group vehicle performance enhancement specialist.

    “Joining forces with STaSIS blends the power of our engine tuning solution with the best performance hardware in the business,” said James Leng, Chairman, Revo Group Companies. “Together, we can deliver an unbeatable performance advantage to customers across the globe.”

    During the week of March 19, 2012, STaSIS and Revo released the first products of their relationship, unveiling the European edition STaSIS S4 and STaSIS S5 signature vehicles to media at the famed Nürburgring race track in Nürburg, Germany, and provided European dealers a personal experience with the new vehicles at the companies Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground test track facility in England.

    So REVO was started by 2 blokes that ripped off the IP that they were paid to develop while in the employ of APR.
    ARP took 4 years to develop 80 tunes with 2 developers.
    REVO did 34 tunes with 1 guy in 6 months.


    I had a good read but what was the final outcome of the court case ?
