Utrecht, January 5, 2023 – Avelco ICT & Cloud Services, the ICT service provider from Veldhoven, has as of 2023 become part of Futureproof Group, the Dutch ICT service provider which acts as a 'House of Brands', and operates from several branches and under different labels. The collaboration gives Avelco access to the knowledge and economies of scale of Futureproof Group. It is the ambition to further expand the presence in the Eindhoven / Den Bosch region in the near future. Futureproof Group is supported in this by MKB Fonds from Amstelveen, under whose wings the group has grown into a leading national player.
Avelco ICT & Cloud Services was founded by Antonio Velings and has since grown into a leading company in the region. Avelco's IT professionals have IT in their DNA, but they don't just think in terms of bits and bytes. Service and customer orientation are also decisive for their working method. Avelco has its own private cloud infrastructure and thus fulfills the role of Managed Service Provider (MSP) for its customers. For a fixed monthly fee, Avelco supplies and manages the ICT infrastructure that customers rely on every day. Avelco attaches great importance to secure systems and reliable information security. In addition, the quality of the service is of paramount importance. In that context, Avelco has ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications.
Antonio Velings: “In recent years, Avelco has grown into a solid managed service provider with a strong presence in the Veldhoven area. We are proud of what we have achieved as a team. We have always put our customers first. In order to continue to grow and to continue to provide our customers with the high-quality service they have come to expect from us, we started looking for a strategic partner. We found that in Futureproof Group, a company where we felt at home from the very first meeting.”
Avelco will continue to serve its customers under its own name and with the same team and, in collaboration with the other business units of Futureproof Group, will focus on further growth in the region and further development of its service portfolio, including through the use of Futureproof Group's knowledge network, the financial security and by sharing best practices.
