Port-au-Prince.– Digicel Group has acquired Haitian mobile operator Voilà, from its parent company, US-based Trilogy International Partners, for an undisclosed sum in a transaction closed on Friday, March 30, Haiti Libre reported.

According to the website, the two companies will continue to be run separately. The Voilà business is attractive to Digicel for a number of reasons including its loyal customer base, its success in the Haitian market to date and its talented workforce.

Voilà has been offering uninterrupted services in Haiti since September 1999 and currently serves nearly a million customers. Voilà is widely recognised for bringing innovation to the telecom sector in Haiti and has redefined corporate social responsibility for foreign investors.
