RSM Ebner Stolz supported Bechtle with a cross-border financial due diligence

Stuttgart, 30 October 2026 - RSM Ebner Stolz has advised Bechtle AG (Bechtle) on the acquisition of the Irish value added reseller Technology First Ltd., which operates under the ITQuotes brand, with a cross-border financial due diligence.

Bechtle is one of the leading IT service providers in Europe. The IT company designs future-proof IT architectures - from classic IT infrastructure, digitalisation, multi cloud, modern workplace and security to artificial intelligence and managed services. Its multichannel strategy combines personal support at more than 120 locations in 14 European countries with digital services and global collaboration. Founded in 1983, the group, headquartered in Neckarsulm (Baden-Württemberg), currently employs more than 16,000 people and generated a business volume of EUR 8.6 billion in 2025.

Dublin-based value added reseller ITQuotes is one of the established providers of IT procurement, hardware, software and deployment services for corporate customers and public sector clients in Ireland. Most recently, ITQuotes generated revenue of more than EUR 30 million with just over 20 employees.

With the acquisition, Bechtle expands its market position and lays the foundation for further growth in one of the most important technology markets in Europe. Bechtle has been represented in Ireland with its own company since 2008 and also serves customers in the Irish market from Dublin. In addition to strengthening its regional presence, Bechtle expects synergies and economies of scale in purchasing, vendor management, digital procurement processes and Europe-wide rollout and service projects. ITQuotes customers will in future have access to the international network of the Bechtle Group and benefit from uniform support across Europe - while maintaining the same high level of local proximity.

RSM Ebner Stolz supported Bechtle in the transaction with a comprehensive cross-border financial due diligence and also advised on other transaction-related issues.
