NAXIPCAP PARTNERS, the majority shareholder of APIXIT since 2016, will sell, alongside the executive shareholders, 100% of the Group's capital to BECHTLE. The formalized transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023, subject to customary regulatory approvals.
Resulting from the merger in 2018 between DCI and RETIS, APIXIT offers a comprehensive range throughout the entire value chain of digital transformation projects. The Group focuses primarily on cybersecurity, which represents 45% of its turnover.
APIXIT provides solutions for digital and cloud infrastructures, network solutions, and managed services to over 1,000 mid-sized and large corporate clients, available 24/7 (support, NOC and SOC supervision, maintenance). The Group has ten regional locations in Issy-les-Moulineaux, Lille, Rennes, Quimper, Nantes, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, and Maisons-Laffitte.
APIXIT will complement BECHTLE's territorial coverage in France and strengthen its position among the top five IT groups in the country.
Konstantin EBERT, Executive Vice-president of BECHTLE for France, Benelux and United-Kingdom states: « With APIXIT, we are taking a significant new step towards leadership in the European market. The IT company is led by an excellent management team and will complement our already strong position in the French market. APIXIT and BECHTLE are more than just complementary puzzle pieces; we also anticipate new synergies that will benefit all companies within the BECHTLE group. »
Fabrice TUSSEAU, Chairman of APIXIT, comments: « With BECHTLE, we can provide our clients and employees exceptional prospects for the future in France and Europe. Our organizations complement each other very well, and we share the same vision both in terms of our culture and ambitious goals. »
