DILAX Public Spaces becomes PFM Berlin GmbH
Berlin, November 11, 2025
The Public Spaces division of DILAX Intelcom GmbH, specialized in retail, shopping centers and event venues, has been acquired by the PFM Intelligence Group. As of November 10, 2025, the division operates under its new name PFM Berlin GmbH.
As part of the acquisition, employees from the Project Management and Customer Service department will also join the new company. For existing customers, this means familiar contacts, continued support – and at the same time, fresh momentum through integration into an international organization known for its innovative strength.
“At DILAX Intelcom GmbH, we will now focus our efforts specifically on the Public Mobility sector. Our goal is to better understand the individual needs of our public transport customers and to provide them with the best possible solutions. Our customers in Public Spaces can look forward to an exciting new chapter. With PFM as a strong partner at their side, new opportunities will emerge to develop innovative solutions in people counting and visitor traffic management for retail and building environments,” says Katerina Pekarek, CEO of DILAX.
PFM Intelligence – the ideal match
Founded in 1983 in the Netherlands (originally under the name FLUCON), the PFM Intelligence Group is now an internationally leading provider of People Flow Analytics. Since the 1990s, the company has been developing counting systems and data solutions for brick-and-mortar retail and shopping centers, and now also serves events, quick-service restaurants, travel hubs, municipalities, and smart buildings.
With around 80 employees and an annual turnover of around €20 million, PFM offers extensive expertise in movement data analytics and the delivery of real-time insights. Through strategic acquisitions as well as its partnership with Lexar Partners since 2023, PFM has established itself as one of Europe’s market leaders.
“PFM and DILAX Public Spaces are a perfect fit,” says Bart Schmitz, CEO of PFM Intelligence Group. “Combining international know-how, strong technology, and the experienced team in Berlin creates the foundation to offer our customers even greater value – from precise hardware and intelligent software to comprehensive support.”
Looking ahead
