This step strengthens Kendis’ position as a forward-thinking IT partner for organizations across the Overijssel region. The partnership creates new opportunities for customers and employees, while preserving the trusted way of working, company culture, and strong local commitment that define Kendis.
The same Kendis, new opportunities
For customers, the known personal approach of Kendis will remain. The company will retain its name, team, local presence, and focus on building long-term customer relationships. At the same time, Kendis will gain access to the knowledge, expertise, and capacity of a larger group of specialized IT service providers.
Founder Martin Drenth sees joining Futureproof Group as a logical next step: “We are proud of this milestone. For our customers, nothing changes about who we are or how we work. At the same time, this partnership gives us more opportunities to grow, share knowledge, and further strengthen our services. It enables us to stay ahead of developments such as AI and continue building a future-ready organization for our customers, employees, and the region. Now and in the future; Futureproof!”
The philosophy of Futureproof Group aligns seamlessly with that of Kendis.
