In late 2020, owner Michel Nys strengthened his company Switchpoint with a Smart Deal, which also gave key employees the opportunity to step into the capital. Since then, an intense growth trajectory has been underway, with Switchpoint now ready for the next step in its development via integration into a larger entity. On Sept. 5, the acquisition by Easi was finalized, strengthening its existing cybersecurity division with more than 20 years of experience. SDM accompanied Switchpoint’s shareholders in this transaction.
Thomas Van Eeckhout, CEO of Easi: “This acquisition is part of our ambition to become a leading player in the Belgian cybersecurity landscape. Both of our companies have extensive competencies in different areas of cybersecurity, allowing numerous synergies to be realized for our clients. Our combined expertise will guarantee us an even stronger market position.” Michel Nys, Managing Director of Switchpoint: “It is our intention to further grow the combined team and to continue to invest in new skills and in our people. As a small company, we sometimes lack the clout to capitalize on our expertise. By being part of a larger group, with a progressive HR approach, we will be able to grow our teams faster and our employees will be able to develop even further in their areas of expertise.”
