In 1998, DCM acquired Logos, an optical disc manufacturing plant located in Gothenburg.
In June 2000, DCM acquired TriData Sverige AB, a software duplicator based in Lund, from TurnIT AB, which continued operations as DCM Tridata. A sister company, TriData ApS, based in Humlebæk, Denmark, also continued operations under DCM.
