Network security provider Elitecore Technologies Limited is in talks with a few leading telecom products players in Europe for acquisitions of around $30 Mn.

The planned acquisition would be funded by more private investment from existing investor Carlyle or any other player, apart from debt and company’s own cash accruals.

Back in 2007, Carlyle Group had invested $10.3 Mn in the company for around 33% stake to boost growth.

Started in 1999, Elitecore Technologies is a tech firm focused on IP-based technologies. It provides business critical solutions for Telecommunications, Network Security and Access Gateway with sales and distribution channels spanning across more than 110 countries.

With its headquarters lying in Ahmedabad, it had offices in North America in the regions of Plainsboro and New Jersey.
