Odin Group strengthens Belgian market position with acquisition of Assyst Europe
For Previder, this step means further strengthening of its Belgian branch, in addition to the previously acquired activities of 2invision in Herentals. Thanks to Assyst Europe's expertise and regional coverage, a strong foundation has been laid for further growth in Belgium, particularly in the economically attractive region around Brussels, where Odin Group was not yet active.
‘Assyst Europe is a valuable addition to our organisation,’ says Arno Witvliet, CEO of Odin Group. ‘Their expertise in cybersecurity, cloud and Microsoft solutions fits seamlessly with Previder's portfolio. We share the same vision of building sustainable IT solutions and continuing to move with our customers. This acquisition fits perfectly with our ambition to grow internationally without losing our local character. We are an organisation with international clout, but we retain our local roots.’
“We are proud of what we have built with Assyst Europe over the past few years,” says Farid Assal, founder and Managing Director of Assyst Europe.
“Joining Odin Group and Previder opens up new opportunities for both our customers and our employees. We share the same values in terms of customer focus, which means we can continue to focus on our core expertise, but now benefit from greater clout, additional experience and a broader portfolio. I look forward to working with Odin and Previder to continue building the future of IT services in Belgium.”
The acquisition is a strategic step in the further expansion of Previder in Belgium. Assyst Europe customers will retain their trusted contacts and services, while benefiting from Previder's broader expertise and proven portfolio in the long term. In this way, we combine local involvement with the strength of an international IT service provider.
