Our History

Getronics began as Groeneveld, Van der Pol & Co.'s Elektrotechnische Fabriek N.V., an installer of control and technical equipment for the utilities, construction, and shipbuilding industries, in 1897. Our business evolved throughout the 20th century as we moved into equipment distribution and later electronics. In 1988 we changed our name to Getronics NV and implemented an aggressive policy of expansion by means of internal growth, acquisitions and strategic investments. Through key acquisitions, including Wang Global in 1999, and more recently RedSiren and Pink Roccade, we have emerged as one of the world's leading providers of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions and services to the business world.

At Getronics, we offer an integrated, globally consistent solution portfolio to help our clients reach higher levels of productivity, flexibility, and service excellence. We focus on improving critical areas of our clients' ICT strategy in order to better address their key business drivers.

In 2007, a new chapter for Getronics began when it was acquired by KPN, a wholesale telecommunications, ICT business solutions, media, and cellular provider to central Europe. The acquisition combines KPN's extensive resources and deep telecommunications expertise with Getronics' end-to-end ICT knowledge, managed service infrastructure, consulting experience, and global service delivery capabilities to form a world-class ICT solutions leader.
