KPN intends to sell Getronics International (with operations in Europe, APAC and LATAM) in two separate transactions, for an undisclosed consideration. These changes in Getronics International will have a positve impact in the further expansion of the Getronics Workspace Alliance.

KPN intends to sell Getronics Europe and APAC to AURELIUS AG, an industrial holding with a long-term investment horizon. Getronics Europe and APAC has country operations in Belgium, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Malaysia and Singapore, and a global services operation in the Netherlands.

In respect of the employee representative bodies, KPN will comply with the applicable information and consultation obligations.

According to Aurelius, “The intended transaction is a further step in building an even stronger GWA. We are convinced, that this will invigorate the unique GWA position, expand the capabilities to serve their global customers and strengthen the portfolio and sales capabilities of the alliance”.

KPN has reached agreement with OpenGate Capital on the divestment of Getronics LATAM.  OpenGate Capital is an international private equity firm that acquires controlling interests in businesses with solid fundamentals.
