Haren , 9 May 2025 - Smizer Group, the buy-and-build platform for Managed Service Providers, with a strong focus on customer and employees, welcomes Groningen-based AKSI Automation as the latest addition to its network - a step in achieving joint growth for organisation, people and customers.
AKSI Automatisering, which has been operating as a reliable IT partner for SMEs since 1997, will continue to operate as an independent company within the Smizer Group. Day-to-day management will remain in the hands of the current management: Eeuwe Rodenboog and Bert Schriemer. Together with Smizer, they will shape the joint growth strategy, while maintaining the local identity and client-oriented approach for which AKSI is known.

"We are delighted to partner with AKSI in Groningen to serve customers and shape our ambition to become a market leader in Groningen. AKSI is a strong name in the region and fits perfectly with our vision of sustainable growth with local strength."
Besides growth opportunities for customers and organisation, the acquisition also offers new perspectives for employees. They get the opportunity to share their knowledge and expertise with more than 250 colleagues within the Smizer Group - a network of IT professionals spread across the country. This cooperation not only increases development opportunities for employees, but also ensures innovative strength and knowledge sharing across the full breadth of the IT profession.
"This move makes us even stronger in Haren- Groningen and allows us to offer our customers more. We will continue to cherish our personal approach and deep-rooted relationships." Thus: Eeuwe and Bert.
