In-Touch Survey Systems announced Tuesday it is selling its IMS division to a new company, to be called IPSG Technology Inc.
The sale, which is expected to close Jan. 1, will see all assets of In-Touch’s IMS division, as well as about $50,000 in working capital go to IPSG Technology. Certain staff and contractors will also be transferred over.
In-Touch will retain 49 per cent ownership of the new company, with the other 51 per cent held through a holding company wholly-owned by a former In-Touch employee.
