Qolcom, a recognised leader in providing innovative digital transformation and network solutions, has taken its commitment to deliver future-ready technologies to the next level by becoming part of the Bechtle Group. This strategic move strengthens Qolcom's capabilities and resources, aligning with Bechtle’s vision of delivering cutting-edge IT and networking services across Europe.

The sale to Bechtle underscores Qolcom’s aspiration to drive company growth under the umbrella of a large international group while securing the succession of some of its leadership team. Keith Reading will remain with the company as General Manager, ensuring continuity and leadership through this new phase. "We are delighted to be adding Qolcom expertise to Bechtle’s extensive portfolio. This marks an important milestone in our company’s growth, and our customers will benefit very much from Bechtle’s holistic ecosystem, especially for our pan-european and International customers,” said Keith Reading, Managing Director of Qolcom.

Qolcom has an excellent reputation in the British IT services market. As is the case with all Bechtle acquisitions, the brand shall remain unchanged initially, ensuring familiarity for customers. For Bechtle, adding Qolcom to the group means increased market share, a new team of highly certified professional experts, and the ability to synergise and integrate portfolios. This will spur further growth, particularly in expanding into the Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) space.

"Qolcom is a perfect match for us—both in terms of its people and its portfolio—and we are looking forward to writing the next chapter in our success story together," said Konstantin Ebert, COO of Bechtle AG.

With a focus on empowering organisations to embrace the future of digital infrastructure, Qolcom’s expertise spans wireless, cloud, and cybersecurity solutions. Now, as a member of the Bechtle Group, Qolcom is poised to offer even greater value to its clients through expanded services, support, and global reach.

Reading also emphasised the impact on Qolcom’s team: "This acquisition presents tremendous growth opportunities for our 40+ employees. With Bechtle’s backing, we can invest in our team, provide new opportunities for development, and ensure we continue to deliver innovative solutions to our clients."

Bechtle, one of Europe’s largest IT providers, brings extensive resources and a broad network to the partnership, enabling Qolcom to enhance its offerings while maintaining its customer-focused approach. Together, we  will continue to deliver top-tier IT solutions that meet the evolving needs of businesses and public sector organisations alike.

This new chapter marks a significant milestone for Qolcom, as it leverages the strengths of Bechtle to remain at the forefront of future-ready IT services and solutions.
