ICT Group N.V. (ICT) has acquired 100% of the shares of Esprit Management & IT Services B.V. (Esprit). Esprit was founded in 1999 and is active in technical software development and recruitment services in the technical automation domain. It employs over 20 professionals and generates annual turnover of around € 2 million.
After an initial integration period Esprit and Additude Netherlands, the Dutch branch of the Swedish company Additude acquired by ICT in 2019, will be merged. The strong reputation of Additude in recruitment services combines perfectly with the excellent position of Esprit in recruitment and consulting services in technical software development. Their combined offering will broaden ICT’s services to its clients and also open up an additional part of the labor market for ICT. Marc Reijnen, founder of Esprit, will lead the integration and further development of this new combination within ICT.
Jos Blejie, CEO of ICT: “I am pleased with Esprit becoming part of ICT. Esprit has a strong and consistent track record within the industrial automation sector and embedded software development in the Netherlands, offering both synergies as well as complementary services to ICT. We welcome Esprit to the ICT Group and to become part of the ambition to lead the ongoing digitalisation for our clients.”
