Futureproof Group proudly announces the acquisition of Andante, a renowned IT service provider based in Leek. With this strategic acquisition, Futureproof Group strengthens its presence in the province of Groningen and takes an important step in its growth strategy.
Same Andante, more possibilities
Over the years, Andante has proven itself as a reliable IT partner for the SMEs in the Groningen region. The company is known for its customer-oriented approach and high-quality IT solutions. Andante will retain its name, identity, and local and personal approach after the acquisition, and can rely on the knowledge and expertise available within the group.
Strong local brands
Futureproof Group's strategy enables the group companies to continue operating as local partners for their customers with the same team, culture, and passion. Regional market leaders such as Arrix in Drachten and IT Worxx in Emmen are also part of the group. These companies can optimally strengthen and support each other and Andante. The mutual cooperation offers opportunities for knowledge sharing, growth opportunities for employees, and combining its capacity. As a result, customers benefit from a broader range of services and (sector) expertise.
Arjan Vennema and Menno Brandsma, management of Andante, look forward to the future: “In our search for a strategic partner for Andante, we consciously chose Futureproof Group. We believe in their professional approach and long-term strategy, which offers opportunities for Andante, our employees, and our customers. Andante remains Andante: the same name, the same team, and with our trusted personal approach. At the same time, we benefit from the extensive knowledge, expertise, and stability of the group, making Andante futureproof!”
Futureproof growth
Futureproof Group grows both organically and through acquisitions where the group empowers and further strengthens strong local players in the IT market. The acquisition of Andante fits perfectly within this strategy.
Emiel Havinga, director of Futureproof Group, adds: “The acquisition of Andante is an important milestone in Futureproof Group's strategy to further expand and strengthen our presence in Northern Netherlands. The local and customer-oriented approach combined with Andante's high knowledge level aligns seamlessly with the strategy and culture of Futureproof Group. This is also an excellent basis for further growth in the region, for example through additional acquisitions.”
