Odin Group strengthens Belgian market position with acquisition of Assyst Europe
In short
Odin Group, the parent company of Previder among others, has acquired the Belgian IT services company Assyst Europe. This acquisition aligns with Odin Group’s international growth strategy while maintaining strong local presence. Assyst Europe is based in the Walloon Brabant region and has approximately 20 employees. Since 2005, the company has been supporting organizations with smart, secure IT solutions, including modern workplace services, cloud services, and advanced cybersecurity.
For Previder, this step marks a further strengthening of its operations in Belgium, complementing the earlier acquisition of 2invision Managed Services in Herentals. With the added expertise and regional footprint of Assyst Europe, a solid foundation is laid for continued growth — particularly in the economically strategic region around Brussels, where Odin Group previously had no presence.
“Assyst Europe is a valuable addition to our organization,” says Arno Witvliet, CEO of Odin Group. “Their expertise in cybersecurity, cloud and Microsoft solutions aligns perfectly with Previder’s portfolio. We share the same vision on building sustainable IT solutions and continuously adapting to meet customer needs. This acquisition fits seamlessly into our ambition to grow internationally without losing our local identity. We are an organization with international strength and local roots.”
“We are proud of what we have built with Assyst Europe over the past years,” says Farid Assal, Founder and Managing Director of Assyst Europe. “Joining Odin Groep and Previder opens up new opportunities for both our clients and our employees. We share the same values based on customer commitment, so we will continue to focus on our core expertise, but can now benefit from increased capacity, complementary experience, and a broader portfolio. I look forward to building the future of IT services in Belgium together with Odin and Previder.”
This acquisition is a strategic move in the further development of Previder’s presence in Belgium. Assyst Europe’s clients will retain their trusted contacts and services, while gaining access to the broader expertise and proven IT portfolio of Previder. It is a perfect combination of local dedication and international capability.
The transaction was facilitated by Promagest as intermediary.
