The management of BSI, under the continued leadership of Peter Larsson, will remain with BSI and continue to execute its growth strategy.

Parker Davis, managing member of Slate Capital Group, said: “BSI is well-known for its innovative technologies and customer focused approach, and fits within our strategy of investing in market leading companies in sustainable growth markets. We have been impressed with BSI’s products and track record of consistent execution, and look forward to working with Peter and the BSI team to build on this momentum.”
