About Us

Built on Trust. 
Proven 
in Practice.

Since 1887, Getronics has been helping organisations make sense of every major technology shift, from electrical infrastructure to AI-enabled enterprise IT. We enable you to run, secure, and scale critical technology with confidence, backed by global reach, local understanding, and long-term relationships built on consistency and accountability.

Overview

More Than a Technology Provider

Getronics began in Amsterdam in 1887, as Electrotechnical Factory N.V. by Groeneveld, van der Pol & Co. (GVPC), supporting the electrical installations that helped public facilities and shipping operate reliably. That origin still shapes who we are. We work with technology that customers depend on, and we treat that responsibility with care.

Our story has moved from electricity to computer networking, managed services, cloud, cybersecurity, workplace technology, and AI-enabled enterprise operations. The technologies have changed. Our role has stayed consistent: helping customers understand, run, protect, and improve critical systems.

Customers choose Getronics because we offer another route between large consultancy-led providers and smaller regional players. We stay closely embedded in customer operations, keep accountability clear, and bring the global delivery model to support international work without losing local understanding.

We are proud to bring more than 135 years of technology heritage to the organisations we support today. Our history, values, leadership, ESG work, office locations, careers, and Global Workspace Alliance show the organisation behind our services, how we work, what we stand for, and why customers trust us over time

1887

Born in Amsterdam in 1887 as an electrotechnical factory, Getronics has continuously reinvented itself from electrical installations and computer peripherals to becoming one of Europe's largest IT service companies.

1999

A landmark 1999 acquisition of Wang Global, active in 42 countries, transformed Getronics into a truly global player, followed in 2009 by the founding of the Global Workspace Alliance, recognised by Gartner as the world's first IT Alliance.

2007

Listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange, acquired by KPN for €766 million in 2007, and subsequently owned by AURELIUS and Grupo Bottega, Getronics has operated at enterprise scale for decades, today running under Cheyne Capital.

  • Getronics has adapted with every major technology shift, but our underlying role has stayed consistent. We have always worked with infrastructure that organisations depend on.

    What guides us

  • AI creates new possibilities, but enterprise value still depends on trust, partnership, governance, and operational discipline. Getronics brings the steadiness customers look for when technology moves quickly. We help them apply AI where it can improve service, security, insight, and productivity, while keeping people, accountability, and real business outcomes at the centre of every decision.

  • Trust also depends on how we take responsibility as a business. Getronics’ ESG work reflects the standards behind our customer relationships, from environmental action and responsible sourcing to inclusion, education, governance, and ethical conduct. Customers can expect a partner that embeds environmental responsibility, ethical conduct, and social commitment into the way we work, not as a separate agenda, but as part of every engagement.
