Eindhoven, June 5, 2026 Valid Managed Services (VMS) announces that the previously announced acquisition by DATAGROUP was officially completed on June 2, 2026. Following the fulfillment of the customary conditions and the transfer of shares, the transaction has been formally completed.

This milestone marks the start of the next phase in the partnership between Valid Managed Services and DATAGROUP. DATAGROUP is an innovative IT service provider with a strong position in Germany and ambitious growth plans in Europe. With the acquisition of VMS, DATAGROUP is taking an important step in the further expansion of its European operations. Valid Managed Services will continue to operate in the Netherlands as an independent entity under the current management team.

For VMS customers, there are currently no changes to our day-to-day services. Contracts, service agreements, and contact persons remain unchanged. Customers can continue to count on the same level of commitment, quality, and reliability they have come to expect from VMS.

The combination of Valid Managed Services and DATAGROUP opens up new opportunities for further development and innovation. By combining VMS’s local market knowledge, strong customer relationships, and operational expertise with DATAGROUP’s scale, technology, and broader service portfolio, we create a solid foundation for providing customers with optimal support well into the future.

The coming period will be focused on ensuring a smooth transition to DATAGROUP. Maintaining service continuity remains a top priority, and we will work together to explore opportunities to provide customers with access to additional expertise, technology, and services from DATAGROUP’s CORBOX service portfolio.

“With the completion of this acquisition, we are taking an important next step in our development,” said Roy van de Kamp, Managing Director of Valid Managed Services. “We are combining our local commitment, expertise, and customer-focused approach with DATAGROUP’s international reach and broader portfolio. This will strengthen our position and create new opportunities for our customers and employees.”

In addition, Roy van de Kamp will assume the role of Division Director of European Expansion and report directly to DATAGROUP’s CEO. In this role, he will help shape DATAGROUP’s ambitious European growth strategy leading up to 2030.
