AZ.pl is the first ICANN accredited registrar in Poland and as of 2010 it ranked as the third most prominent registrars of .pl, with 10% of the market. At that time it was administering some 240,000 domains.
The acquisition of a majority stake of AZ.pl by Key-Systems was self-described as a move to more firmly establish themselves in the the Eastern European market and also further bolster their international presence as a whole, given that around that time in 2010 the company had also acquired subsidiaries in the USA and Mexico. The move allowed AZ.pl to increase its domain extension offerings by more than 200 TLDs. [2]
