IGEL Technology GmbH

IGEL Technology GmbH is a multinational software company headquartered in Bremen, Germany, with significant North American operations in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Founded in 2001, the company's core mission is to simplify, secure, and modernize endpoint management, providing a secure operating system platform for digital workspaces. IGEL transitioned from a hardware manufacturer to solely a software company in 2020.

IGEL's primary offering is IGEL OS, a Linux-based endpoint operating system designed for secure access to cloud workspaces, including Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), Desktop as a Service (DaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and secure browser environments. Complementing IGEL OS, the company provides endpoint management software (IGEL Universal Management Suite), an App Portal, and advanced services. IGEL serves various market segments, including healthcare, financial services, retail, manufacturing, government, and education.

Klaus Oestermann was appointed CEO of IGEL in July 2023, leading the company's focus on endpoint security and its "Preventative Security Model." Recent strategic moves include the acquisition of Stratodesk in 2025, expanding its portfolio in software-defined endpoint computing. IGEL also launched IGEL OS12, UMS12, and IGEL Cloud Services in 2023 and introduced "IGEL for Business Continuity" in September 2024, aimed at rapid recovery from cyberattacks and enabling hybrid work. The company maintains a strong market position through its "IGEL Ready" partner ecosystem, collaborating with major technology providers like Microsoft, Citrix, HP, and LG.
