Isatis Capital announces the acquisition of Nijkerk Computer Solutions alongside its management

Isatis Capital is pleased to announce that it has acquired a majority stake through the funds it manages in Nijkerk Computer Solutions alongside the group’s managers: Stéphane Roger, Moustapha Sylla, Manuel Lechuga, Yves Van Aert and Dave Van Calster.

The new entity, which becomes NCS Systems, takes over from the Nijkerk group after more than 30 years.

Founded in 1989 in Amsterdam as Nijkerk Display Systems, the company transformed into Nijkerk Computer Solutions in the early 1990s and established its activity in Belgium and France. Nijkerk Computer Solutions assembles, distributes and installs industrial IT solutions mainly for the pharmaceutical, defense, transport and high-tech industries. The group is recognized for its very high added value offer, particularly in the co-design of the architecture of tailor-made IT solutions (in particular rugged screens, industrial computers, control screens, industrial integration & cabling of cabinets, etc...). The company serves a base of diversified clients who are leaders in their sectors, with whom it maintains long-term relationships of trust. The group is thus able to go very far in understanding the problems of its customers, and to offer tailor-made solutions that perfectly meet their needs. All products are assembled and tested on the two production sites located in France (Elancourt) and Belgium (Antwerp).

“We are confident that with the current management team, the business will continue to grow and prosper,” says Richard Nijkerk, Executive Director of Nijkerk Holding. “We have deliberately chosen this moment to pass the baton to the next generation because it is important to do so when the organization is strong and continues to develop. We are proud of the team and know that their expertise lies in leading complex, long-term industrial IT projects. We have found in Isatis Capital a partner who shares the same values that we maintain as a private family business".

“We were impressed by the know-how, the quality of the service and the robustness of the organization developed by the management team. In a period that reminds us of the importance of strategic know-how, effective sourcing and special attention to CSR, we are deeply convinced of the very significant development potential of NCS Systems. Furthermore, the group has all the characteristics to become a consolidation platform,” says Nicolas Schwindenhammer, Associate Director, Isatis Capital.
