Hungarian navigation software supplier 7430 NNG has broadened its presence in the market for automotive on-board systems with the acquisition of the US-based 7859 nfuzion HMI prototyping company.

nfuzion specialises in advanced technology solutions for the automotive industry and brings 14 years of in-car entertainment knowledge to NNG, giving NNG a new range of tools, products, and consulting to utilise on future projects. Their capabilities range from industrial and UI design to mechanical and electrical engineering.

“We identified a strategy that would enable NNG to expand its presence in cars,” said Péter Balogh, CEO of NNG. “It was obvious early in our cooperation that we shared a passion for the automotive industry and HMI design, and we recognized the same problems facing automakers today. Combining NNG’s expertise in navigation software and nfuzion’s expertise in HMI design, we can solve those problems.”

“This acquisition has served as validation for years of hard work,” said Kris Hanon, principal of nfuzion. “Being able to lend our HMI experience and services to an international company like NNG is truly inspiring. I have no doubt that such a collaboration will take our vision and products to a new level of innovation.”
