Conscia intends to acquire Open Line, accelerating growth in secure and mission-critical managed services and cloud platform capabilities in the Netherlands and across Europe

The envisaged transaction marks the largest acquisition in Conscia’s history and is fully aligned with Conscia’s ambition to become the pan-European leader in cybersecurity and managed services.

Open Line is a Netherlands-based cloud managed services provider who has built its business on advanced cloud and automation capabilities, as well as a strong reputation in regulated sectors.

“This transaction would not only add scale to Conscia Netherlands. It would significantly reinforce our pan-European leadership in managed services and reflect our strategic priority to scale Conscia’s platform and capabilities in areas that matter most to our customers, namely cybersecurity, cloud, and digital transformation,” says Erik Bertman, CEO of Conscia Group. “Open Line brings proven strengths in these domains, especially in highly regulated and mission-critical sectors. Together, we could deliver more value to more clients, at greater scale, while maintaining the deep customer focus that defines both companies.”

It is intended that Open Line would become part of Conscia under the leadership of Open Line’s current management, reporting to Marcel Cappetti, Managing Director of Conscia Netherlands. This structure would ensure continuity for Open Line’s customers and employees, while leveraging group-wide expertise.
