In order to expand and provide internet services for the Slovenian market, in 1997 internet network Amis was established in the framework of the Company. Amis thus became a Brand, holder of all market services and products still today.

In the early stages, before entering of financial investors, Amis was based predominantly on its own sources, simple organization and focusing on niche market segments. The achieved business success led to admittance of new investors in 2006, namely investment funds Iris Capital (France) and KBC (Belgian) which enabled fast growth, large-scale expansion of activities and trebled number of staff of the Company. IRIS and KBC bought Amis on June 28, 2006, for 8,380,000 EUR (together with Amis Telecom in Croatia). Ten years later, on January 4, 2016, Amis was sold (together with Amis Telecom in Croatia) for 33.939,330.24 EUR to mobile provider A1 and on March 16, 2016, integrated into A1.
