GRISOFT’s History
GRISOFT was formed in 1989 by Jan Gritzbach who started the company in 1991 in the Czech Republic with Tomáš Hofer. The first AVG Anti-Virus product was introduced in 1992 to the local market. In 1997, the first AVG licenses were sold in Germany and UK and in 1998, AVG was introduced to the U.S. soon after, GRISOFT started building an international network of distributors and resellers to provide service worldwide. GRISOFT has business partners in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, France, Germany, Slovakia, UK and Ireland and thousands of resellers worldwide. GRISOFT, Inc. was also established in the U.S as an independent business unit of the GRISOFT group.
In 2001, Jan Gritzbach decided to sell the company to Benson Oak Capital Acquisitions. Four years later, Benson Oak valorized its investment by selling 65% share in the company to Intel Capital and Enterprise Investors for $52 million.
Following the growth in spyware and other potentially unwanted applications, GRISOFT included an anti-spyware product in its portfolio. In May of 2006, GRISOFT closed a deal to acquire German company ewido networks and integrated ewido anti-spyware into its portfolio as AVG Anti-Malware. AVG Internet Security – a comprehensive suite for computer security – is the result of 15 years of hard work and great ideas put into GRISOFT’s growth and dedication to users’ security.
