Anker B.V.
 PROFILE
For more than a century the "ping!" of cash registers has been music to Anker's ears. Founded in 1876, the maker of electronic cash registers and point-of-sale (POS) systems also offers POS software, consulting, and support. The company has been using acquisitions (including its 1999 purchase of Riva Group) to strengthen its position in Europe's POS market. With such customers as Harrods, Carrefour, and ALDI Group, Anker has installed more than 800,000 systems for retail, food service, and hospitality businesses across Europe. Anker's principal shareholders -- European Acquisition Capital (the majority owner) and CEO John Foulkes -- bought the company from British manufacturing company BTR (now Invensys) in 1995.
