VanRoey merges with Dynamate to Enhance IT Services in Belgium

VanRoey, headquartered in Turnhout, and Dynamate, based in Passendale, have announced their intention to merge, forming a leading integrated managed IT services group for medium to large organizations and government entities in Belgium. Both companies will continue to operate independently until the transaction is finalized, and the deal value remains undisclosed.

Dynamate, a family-owned business for over 40 years, was founded by Marc Christiaens and is now managed by his sons, Olivier and Alexander Christiaens. The company supports SMEs and large enterprises in their digital transformation, offering services across three complementary business units: business applications (ERP, CRM, BI), cloud and ICT infrastructure, and digital marketing, creating a fully integrated digital ecosystem. Dynamate is backed by private equity investor Sofindev, which became a shareholder in 2020 to support the company’s growth trajectory.

VanRoey, founded in 1993 by Pat Van Roey, has grown into a well-established managed IT service provider with expertise in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and managed services. The company serves over 2,000 medium-sized organizations, large enterprises, and government clients across Belgium. In 2022, Fortino Capital joined as a shareholder to further accelerate its expansion and strategic development.

The merger leverages the strong complementarity between both organizations in terms of expertise, service offering, and geographical presence. Dynamate has a strong footprint in West and East Flanders, while VanRoey is prominent in Antwerp and Limburg, resulting in a broad regional presence that allows improved service delivery to clients.

Combining their capabilities in IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, managed services, and business applications will create a more robust and integrated offering. The merged entity is expected to have over 450 employees, generate more than €140 million in annual revenue, and serve more than 3,500 clients throughout Belgium.

The scale of the merger will accelerate investments in innovation, artificial intelligence, and specialized expertise, meeting rising client expectations for digital maturity and AI support. Operational integration will focus on aligning processes and retaining key talent, enhancing service delivery, cybersecurity, and overall client value.

Both Fortino Capital and Sofindev, together with the existing family shareholders and management teams, will reinvest in the combined company, underscoring their shared commitment to building a leading Belgian managed IT group with long-term growth ambitions.

“The intent to merge stems from a strong complementarity between our organizations,” said Joachim Lauwers, current CEO of VanRoey and future CEO of the merged Dynamate. “Our customers will benefit from a broader, more specialized, and future-oriented service offering that combines the best of both companies.”
