History
Luxoft was initially established in 1995 in Moscow as a development center of IBS, an IT holding company. In April 2000, the development center was incorporated as a separate entity under the direction of Dmitry Loschinin.
As of 26 June 2013, Luxoft is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, following an initial public offering of 4.1 million shares at $17 each. According to IBS President and main shareholder Anatoly Karachinsky, Luxoft was spun off in order to "unlock value for shareholders who aren’t interested in the Russian part of the group’s business".
After the pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine in 2014, Luxoft "relocated its senior management and about 100 engineers this year from Russia and Ukraine to Switzerland". The company had offices in three Ukrainian cities—Kiev, Odessa, and Dnipropetrovsk—and as of March 2014, 49% of its employees were based in Ukraine and 29% in Russia.
Clients and services
Luxoft's clients "consist[] primarily of large multinational corporations", such as Boeing, Ford Motor Co., and Deutsche Bank. For example, Luxoft created software that facilitates determining a customer's creditworthiness for Deutsche Bank. Other products have included "derivative trading systems for banks and computer-vision navigation that matches a moving image from a camera mounted in a car to locations on a map".
Global expansion
Luxoft has development centers in Romania (Bucharest), Malaysia (Penang), Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City), Poland (Krakow, Wroclaw, Tricity), Bulgaria (Sofia), Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Omsk) and Ukraine (Kiev, Odessa, Dnipropetrovsk). Representative offices of the company are also located worldwide in: United States (New York, NY; Seattle, WA), Europe (London, UK; Frankfurt, Germany) and Asia (Singapore).
Luxoft is actively pursuing M&A strategy having recently acquired local companies in USA, United Kingdom, Germany, Denmark (2014-2016).
