November 18, 2025 | Techone Announces Strategic Partnership with KKR to further Accelerate Growth and Expand Market Position following Exit by Nedvest

• Strategic partnership combines KKR's global platform and sector expertise with Techone's proven capabilities to drive further growth in the Netherlands and internationally.
• Nedvest's hands-on partnership aided Techone's transformation from regional MSP to Dutch market leader through 57 strategic acquisitions over six years
• Existing management team remains invested and fully committed, reinforcing Techone's Dutch heritage, entrepreneurial culture, and customer-centric approach.

Rotterdam, 18 November 2025 - Techone, a leading Dutch managed service provider, today announced a strategic partnership with KKR, a leading global investment firm, to further expand its position in digital workplace solutions for SMEs.

Techone serves more than 35,000 SME customers across the Netherlands, offering a comprehensive suite of managed services including private and public cloud, modern workplace solutions, cybersecurity, and connectivity. Founded in 1999 by Coert Coomans, the company has built a robust platform distinguished by high-quality infrastructure, strong local relationships, and a clear focus on SME customers. With the support of Nedvest, a Dutch family office specialising in medium-sized European companies, Techone has completed 57 strategic acquisitions over the past six years, expanding its capabilities and presence to meet the full spectrum of its customers' IT needs.

As part of the transaction, funds managed by KKR will acquire Nedvest's majority stake in Techone. This marks the culmination of a six-year partnership during which Nedvest supported Techone's transformation into the Netherlands' leading managed service provider (MSP) for SME digital workplace solutions.

The strategic partnership with KKR will enable Techone to accelerate growth, expand its service offering, and pursue new opportunities outside the Netherlands - both organically and through targeted acquisitions. It will also provide additional resources and international expertise to drive execution of its strategy and expand its leadership.

Following completion of the transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, Techone will continue to be led by its existing management team, with CEO and founder Coert Coomans remaining in his role and invested in the business.

Coert Coomans, CEO and Founder of Techone, commented: "KKR's support represents an important step in Techone's development. Their experience in building technology and services businesses, combined with their long-term investment perspective, will help us accelerate our growth, pursue new opportunities, and deliver even greater value for our SME customers."

Tim Kreté, Partner at Nedvest, commented: "We are immensely proud of what we have achieved together with Coert and the entire Techone team over the past six years. Through our collaborative partnership and disciplined acquisition strategy, we have built Techone into the undisputed market leader in its segment. This exit to KKR validates our hands-on approach and demonstrates the value we create by working closely alongside entrepreneurial management teams. We are confident that KKR will be the ideal partner to support Techone in its next phase of international expansion."

Chresten Knaff, Managing Director at KKR, said: "SMEs are the backbone of Europe's economy, and their ability to harness digital transformation will be decisive for future competitiveness and growth. Techone stands out as a platform enabling this transformation at scale - combining deep local expertise with a comprehensive suite of digital solutions. By bringing together global resources and local insight, we aim to help accelerate innovation and drive sustainable value creation for customers and communities."

KKR has a long track record of investing in and supporting founder-led and family-owned businesses across Europe, including with DATAGROUP, Devoteam, OVHcloud, Contabo and SoftwareOne. The investment is being made primarily through KKR's European Fund VI, which invests in the growth of leading businesses by providing access to KKR's global network, capital, and business-building capabilities.

William Blair acted as financial advisor to Techone.
