Getronics has acquired ITS Overlap, a French ICT integrator and a subsidiary of the ITS Group.
ITS Overlap has five locations across France and has a turnover of €50 million per year, serving 400 customers.

Now, thanks to the acquisition, it will provide a broader offer of end-to-end solutions in terms of integration, business software tools.
Chairman and Group CEO of Getronics Nana Baffour said: “It goes without saying that we are very pleased with this most recent acquisition. Thanks to this new size, we are ready to fulfill our ambition of being the best partner for our customers in France as in the rest of the world, using the latest technologies to support them in their digital transformations. As ever, it’s a matter of honor for us to consistently deliver the best services and solutions in order to build long-lasting relationships with our customers.”
The chairman and CEO of the ITS Group Jean-Michel Bénard said: “Getronics presented the best plan ITS Overlap employees. They will join an ambitious group, with whom we will continue to collaborate on joint opportunities. For the clients and partners of ITS Overlap, too, Getronics was the best project. Thanks to the complementarity of our respective services, but also our specific knowledge of the French market on the one hand and Getronics’ global reach on the other, we will be able to further extend and strengthen our combined portfolios, in order to serve our clients even better.”
