Networking software and products distribution company Adcomp Datensysteme GmbH, Unterhaching, Germany, is to be split up and sold to various distributors, following withdrawal of support by its banks and its subsequent filing for bankruptcy. Computerwoche reports that Wokingham, Berkshire-based Azlan Ltd wants to take on a nucleus of Adcomp managers and set up a separate company to supply network products and support. Munich-based Macotron AG is also interested in taking some activities, and is said to have offered to employ 35 Adcomp staff.
