Inwave has acquired Swedish Gateway, a provider of electronic article surveillance solutions for retail chains, announced in a press release. The acquisition supports the Brazilian company's international expansion strategy and strengthens its operations in Europe.

Founded in 1994, Gateway operates in over 120 countries through a network of 70 distributors.
