HCMC – FPT Corporation, a leading Vietnamese technology firm, has announced its acquisition of Intertec International’s (Intertec) IT Services division to further strengthen its North American nearshore delivery capabilities.

The acquisition enables FPT and Intertec to provide customers with a seamless experience.

The deal also enables FPT to further meet the increasing demand for agile software engineering and bridge time zone differences.

The Vietnamese firm will continue to leverage and build on Intertec’s delivery centers and operational experience in Costa Rica, Colombia and Mexico.

“We have worked with FPT for several years and we look forward to taking our relationship to the next level,” said Intertec International’s CEO Rickard Hedeby.

FPT Americas Chief Executive Officer Dang Tran Phuong said, “Seeing the synergies and success of our relationship with Intertec made this deal a natural next step.

“We are committed to providing exceptional services to our customers and have listened to their needs for a mix of offshore, nearshore and onsite delivery models to help them realize their speed-to-market goals and provide 24/7 support.”

The move is part of FPT’s global growth strategy, helping boost its presence in the Americas. With this investment, the company will gain nearly 300 employees and four offices. In the next two years, FPT will set its sights on growing its headcount in the Latin American region to 1,000.
