    Interesting facts

    The company's legal predecessors, Optotrans Bt. (founded: 1990), which mainly deals with the construction of communication systems, and Rolitron Kft. (founded: 1972), which initially manufactured medical electronic devices and developed office software, and later specialized in the supply of computer systems, merged in September 1997 with the involvement of $5 million in venture capital under the name Synergon.

    Not only the company, but the entire Hungarian IT market was shaken by the accident in which four of the company's managers lost their lives in 2001. Tibor Gyurós, the President and CEO of Synergon Informatikai Rt., Levente Lakatos, Deputy CEO, and András Felkai and Iván Völgyes, members of the board of directors, who were returning home from Croatia, were on the plane that crashed near Tapsony in Tolna County.

    The Association of Information Technology Enterprises (IVSZ) named its "IT Manager of the Year" and "Young IT Entrepreneur of the Year" awards in memory of the president of IVSZ, Tibor Gyurós, after his unexpected death in 1997.
