A global leader specialized in communications services and digital platforms

Tofane Global is committed to creating value for its partners through its investments,
its technology innovation, and its independence.

History

Founded in 2017, Tofane Global has acquired seven companies in the global communications market. 

Through rapid integration, the group has created the world’s leading independent global communications and connectivity player, boosting its size and scale effects.

Through its 2019 acquisition of iBASIS, Tofane demonstrated its leadership by reinventing the Boston-based company and resetting its path for growth. 

Building on the reputation of iBASIS, which first led Voice over IP for international telephone calls revolutionizing the voice market between operators and service providers, Tofane consolidated all its international communications solutions under the iBASIS brand.

Since its acquisition by Tofane, iBASIS has been recognized as the first independent international carrier and continues to lead and innovate in all its markets.

HUMAN RESOURCES

Investors

Leading French and global financial partners guide and support Tofane in its growth strategy and the management of its operations.

Our Founding Values

Independence

Independence is a key value and is one of our founding pillars. Fully deleveraged, our financial independence allows us to look ahead and solidify this advantage through new acquisitions.

Our independence allows us to be agile in our strategic decisions and is strongly integrated within our teams.

Our independence is synonymous with competitiveness and transparency for our clients.

Innovation

Innovation is at the heart of our group’s strategy: in our acquisitions, our carve-out approach, and our integrations around high-performance platforms. It is also at the core of our operational principles, to optimize our resources and outcomes.

Innovation is the engine of not only our R&D teams but also our sales, technical, operational, and support teams to offer cutting-edge services to all our international customers.

More than 95 patents have been filed in the field of IP communications, voice traffic management and quality, anti-fraud, IoT network architecture, and more. 

The Human Factor

Our group’s rapidly growing international operations have made it possible to develop a diversity of rare depth and breadth. The diversity, specialization, and expertise of our team form an indisputable force of talents, able to constantly adapt to a changing environment. 

Nimble organizational and mobile structures around each of our initiatives make it possible to develop and  enhance individual and collective skills.

Our mandate is to leverage the diversity of talents and corporate cultures to constantly adapt in an environment undergoing digital transformation and globalization.

 

CSR

Our founding values inspire our CSR commitments and projects.

Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Since its inception, Tofane has invested in the human factor. The diversity of our team is core to the strategy and acquisition decisions of our group. Inclusion is core to the commitment of our leadership, teams, and founders, working together in a dynamic of international growth, respecting our environment and our footprint at all levels of our activities.

With an international vocation, Tofane embraced the United Nations Global Compact charter in 2021 in order to unite our organization across the 18 countries where we are present. We understand the importance of having a global frame of reference for our international teams.

By observing the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact, our actions are implemented to meet fundamental responsibilities in the fields of human rights, labor, the environment, and the fight against corruption.

Social and Societal Commitment

During our acquisitions, Tofane has always focused on the retention of talents and teams to facilitate the integration of human resources, cultures, and systems which guarantee rapid and successful integrations and consistent development.

Tofane supports the ESCP Foundation for the dissemination of progress: during the pandemic, we supported the creation of solidarity funds to help students hard hit by the crisis.
