Matrix, a specialist in secure network solutions, is partnering with Esprit ICT, a leading provider of integrated digital workplace solutions. Hogenhouck M&A advised Matrix on this transaction.
Matrix
Matrix, based in Harderwijk, is an Internet service provider (ISP) with a strong focus on business Internet connections and connectivity. In recent years, the company has proven itself to be a reliable specialist in networking, connectivity solutions, and other IT services for business customers, particularly in the provinces of Gelderland and Utrecht. Matrix distinguishes itself through in-depth technical knowledge, a practical approach, and long-term customer relationships
“Matrix’s strength lies in its in-depth knowledge of secure network solutions and its customer-focused approach,” said Emile Jongboer, CCO of Esprit ICT. “With the addition of Matrix, we’re not only strengthening our technical capabilities, but also adding valuable knowledge and experience to our broad range of services.”
Esprit ICT
The acquisition fits perfectly within Esprit ICT’s growth strategy, which focuses on increasing scale, broadening expertise, and integrating specialized IT services. Thanks to this strategic partnership, Esprit ICT can further expand its offerings and strengthen its role as a full-service IT provider for digital workplaces. With the addition of Matrix, Esprit ICT is also even better positioned to provide its clients with optimal support for issues related to infrastructure, connectivity, and digital workplace solutions.
“We see Esprit ICT as an organization that shares our people-first mindset and ambition,” says André Pater. “By joining forces, we can innovate more quickly and offer our customers an even more comprehensive range of services.”
The M&A process
Hogenhouck M&A advised Matrix on this transaction through Victor Rosier, Maarten van der Heijden, and Stefan Nguyen. “Throughout the process, we sought a partner that could offer both strategic value to Matrix IT and a stable home for its employees and clients; we found that partner in Esprit,” said Victor Rosier, a partner at Hogenhouck M&A.
With Hogenhouck M&A, André, the founder of Matrix, took the next step. Matrix is now part of Esprit ICT, where Matrix’s network and expertise are being leveraged to further strengthen the joint offering. What once began locally in Harderwijk is now being rolled out on a larger scale.
