Getronics changes brand identity after buy-out

Getronics announced today the formal change in brand identity to complement the acquisition of US-based Pomeroy as part of its expanding global group.

The organisation, with combined revenue of approximately $1.3 billion, has firmly established its place as a global Information and Communications Technology service provider.

Although Getronics was already present in the US market through existing partnerships, adding Pomeroy’s vast network of coast-to-coast locations has enabled a solid foundation upon which to grow in North America and gain access to key markets.

Getronics is recognised for its “Workspace Management” in IT; therefore, the acquisition of Pomeroy, the “foremost expert in Optimised Workplace Services,” reflects the joint vision and expertise of the outfits.

Under the Getronics’ brand, the company now is focused on becoming the global leader in Managed Digital Workspace, Applications, Industry-Specific Software Solutions, Multi-Cloud Management and Unified Communications. At the same time, Getronics wants its employees to be positively impacted by this change, and, above all, for its customers to continue to benefit from the responsive support and technology solutions made possible through a new global delivery model.

Nana Baffour, Chairman and Group CEO of Getronics, sees this acquisition as a promising new chapter in Getronics’ 130 year-plus history. “From now on, we will be able to serve the United States with our multi-layered portfolio of services better than ever before, as we will be based on the local market, strengthening our capacity to understand the real needs of customers in this part of the world. That’s made possible through our expertise and ability to develop closer relationships with both customers and partners.”

Getronics buying spree continues

Days after acquiring Pomeroy in the US, Getronics has written a cheque for the French ITS Overlap.

It is all part of a cunning plan to broaden its services offering globally.

ITS Overlap has locations across France and has a turnover of €50 million per year, serving 400 customers. As one of the historic players in the French ICT market, the digital services provider focuses primarily on delivering and optimising customer IT infrastructures for medium-sized companies, specialising in digital integration and transformation.

With the acquisition, Getronics wants to become an even stronger force in the European data centre market.

Francis Weill, Managing Director France and Western & Central Europe for Getronics said: “With 3 of its 20 European Data Centres based in France, Getronics was already a well-established entity. Now, thanks to the acquisition, we will be able to serve our customers even better with a broader offer of end-to-end solutions in terms of integration, business software tools (for airports and health systems, for example), multi-cloud management and unified communication.”

The newly expanded company, with combined revenue of approximately $1.3 billion, wants to be a leading global player in the field of Managed Digital Workspace, Applications, Industry Specific Software Solutions, Multi-Cloud Management and Unified Communications.

With a presence in 23 countries and coverage in over 110 countries through the Global Workspace Alliance, Getronics will continue to build local customer relationships and provide local solutions, backed by the strength of a global service delivery organisation.

Nana Baffour, Chairman and Group CEO of Getronics said that  the combined revenues now reach $1.3 billion, achieving our goal of becoming a billion-dollar company two years earlier than originally planned.

“This reflects the power of our dreams and the dedicated execution of our team and financial partners, and we are excited about the value and customer experience that the new combination will allow us to deliver. Our operations are now significantly strengthened globally, extending from Brazil to Singapore and from Spain to the U.S. and Canada, with over 2,800 active clients, served by approximately 9,000 employees. With this scale, we are poised to succeed in our ambition to be the preferred partner for our customers in enabling business transformation using the latest technology.”

Brian Robinson, current CEO of Pomeroy and Global CFO of the newly combined company said:  “Getronics’ global service delivery capabilities and service offerings will be a compelling added value for North American clients. We look forward to introducing Getronics’ Applications, Cloud and Unified Communications solutions to further enable our clients to transform their businesses utilizing the latest digital tools as part of the workspace of tomorrow.”
