SAGEMCOM is a French communications company based in Rueil-Malmaison. The company is split into four organisational divisions: "Broadband", "Documents", "Digital" and "Energy & Telecom".
Sagem Communication was the original name for what is now SAGEMCOM (Although still called "Sagem Communication" at times). It was part of the SAGEM, a major French company involved in defence electronics, consumer electronics and communication systems.
In 2005, SAGEM and SNECMA merged to form SAFRAN.
In 2008, the SAGEM group spun off its communications and mobile telephony businesses (known simply as: Sagem Mobile) to focus on core company values.
The mobile phone business was called: SAGEM Wireless.
The broadband business was called: SAGEM Communication.
In 2008 The Gores Group became the major stakeholder of the company.
Other Sagem Business Groups like MobiWire (then known as Sagem Wireless) and Safran Morpho (then known as Sagem Orga) were not part of this deal.
In order to distinguish from other "Sagem" companies and to reflect the separation the name and logo was again changed into "Sagemcom" in 2009.
Today, Sagemcom is majority-owned by The Carlyle Group and a minority shares belong to company employees.
The Broadband business division accounts for €419 m of the company's turnover in 2010. The division offers a wide range of products, broadband terminals, DECT wireless terminals, connected screens and radios as well as software solutions, and simplifying the installation and management of these different devices on the local digital network.
Sagemcom claims it is a European leader for broadband terminals.
The Documents Business Group provides solutions in the field of imaging and documents: analysis, management, printing, communication, filing, display. The business unit provides a multifold portfolio in areas such as consumer fax (inventor of the Phonefax) as well as professional faxes, printers, multifunction terminals, software solutions for document management and communication, and also imaging (one of the Europeans leaders in digital photoframes).
