French technology giant Thales SA will acquire digital security company Gemalto after outbidding a rival French company whose bid was rejected. Thales will acquire Gemalto — the world’s largest manufacturer of SIM cards and credit card chips — in an all-cash transaction worth €4.76 billion ($5.6 billion), beating an offer from rival Atos that was valued at €4.3 billion ($5.06 billion).

The company is the world’s largest manufacturer of SIM cards and credit card chips. Gemalto’s businesses in data encryption, identity and access management and crypto management are meant to complement Atos’s artificial intelligence, big data, high performance computers and cloud […]
