Ghent, July 15, 2025 – Alistar, a leading European provider of business applications and IT solutions, is entering into a strategic partnership with Harbers Group. This move allows Alistar to further expand its presence in the Netherlands and strengthen its offerings in cloud solutions, IT security, DevOps services, and business applications. As a result, Alistar’s workforce will grow to over 750 employees, and its revenue will exceed 125 million euros.
Harbers Group is known for its personalized, proactive, and strategic approach to growth-oriented companies. The organization offers a wide range of services, including managed cloud solutions, hybrid modern workplace solutions, software solutions, cybersecurity services, and the TriniCo customer relationship management system. Thanks to this acquisition, Alistar now has more than 750 employees and is strengthening its position in the eastern Netherlands.
“The acquisition of Harbers Group fits perfectly with our ambition to become one of the top three companies in Western Europe,” says Jan Hofman, CEO of Alistar. “We share the same vision regarding comprehensive solutions and technological innovation. Furthermore, our teams complement each other exceptionally well, both geographically and in terms of expertise.”
The Harbers Group is also enthusiastic about joining Alistar: “For us, this is a logical next step,” said Emiel Harbers, founder of the Harbers Group. “We’ll continue to do what we do best, but we’ll gain a strong network and added clout. Our clients can continue to count on continuity and new opportunities, all delivered with our trusted, no-nonsense approach from the Achterhoek region.”.
IT as a Catalyst for Growth
Ambitious companies now expect technology to be more than just an operational tool. That is why our service is based on data-driven insights and a thorough understanding of business challenges. As a result, we view IT not only as an operational tool, but as a strategic driver of innovation and growth.
“The Alistar approach helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) innovate by strategically leveraging technology. In addition, our unique corporate approach helps large enterprises reduce complexity. Both approaches are designed for growth, but driven by people.”
