Wincor Nixdorf has entered a deal with Brazilian technology and services provider Perto covering final production of Wincor Nixdorf systems for customers in Brazil. Gravatai, Brazil-based Perto specializes in automation technology and IT services for banks and retailers, Wincor said in a release.

"In working [with Perto], we will be able to improve substantially both our delivery times and our channels of supply for customers in Brazil," said Wincor Nixdorf President and CEO Eckard Heidloff in the press release.

Under the terms of the agreement, Perto's manufacturing sites will handle the configuration and final production of Wincor Nixdorf ATMs destined for the Brazilian market. Wincor Nixdorf will supply all requisite core components and provide extensive technical support, ensuring compliance with the company's quality standards.

Wincor and Perto also intend to collaborate in the field of ATM technology in order to help Brazilian banks transform their branch operations in line with future requirements. To this end, Perto will source Wincor cash recycling technology under an OEM agreement and integrate it within Perto's own systems.

"The results of initial customer projects have shown that Brazilian banks are increasingly becoming more receptive to cash recycling, as it offers greater process efficiency and security," said Perto CEO Thomas Elbling. "Perto’s level of integration and presence in Brazil, complemented by the cash recycling expertise of Wincor Nixdorf, is a winning combination when it comes to establishing a strong market position in this field," Elbling continued.

Wincor Nixdorf also has identified increasing demand for software and professional services in Brazil and is gearing up to meet this need, as well. The company announced plans to expand its business providing multivendor ATM software to the Brazilian market.
