Logicalis expands US footprint with Maple Woods Enterprises buyout

The deal will aim to boost the company’s cybersecurity and compliance offering

Logicalis has acquired US-based cybersecurity and IT solutions firm Maple Woods Enterprises to strengthen its managed services capabilities.

The purchase will add cybersecurity and compliance skills to the Berkshire-based company’s US operations.

Logicalis US' clients will have access to a security strategy that includes assessments, policy and documentation development, SIEM review, vulnerability oversight, access control analysis and ongoing compliance management.

Following the acquisition, the branch will aim to offer customers a more structured approach to security, while expanding into healthcare as well as state, local and education (SLED) and other markets.

Overwatch, Maple Woods’ managed governance and compliance platform, was built to meet the standards of the US defence industry.

Rob Edwards, founder of the purchased organisation, will join the Berkshire-HQ company’s US arm as VP of security and innovation.

“Today’s announcement marks a further step in providing our clients with best-in-class security solutions,” wrote Logicalis CEO Robert Bailkoski in a LinkedIn post.

“Adding Overwatch to our portfolio adds real depth to our cyber capability.”

Edwards added in a statement: "We are excited to formally join the Logicalis family after many years as a trusted security partner.

"Overwatch was built to satisfy some of the most demanding cybersecurity and compliance requirements in the US defence industry and now we'll be able to bring this capability to a broader set of customers."

This announcement comes shortly after Bailkoski told CRN Logicalis had “quite a strong pipeline of M&A going forward”, hinting at more acquisitions over the next 12 to 18 months to complement its solutions.

It also follows a period of strong growth for the organisation.

In H1 FY26, GII soared 11.4 per cent to $1.04bn (£760.7m), up 11.4 per cent from the year prior (H1 FY25: $931m).

This momentum was driven by performance in both annuity services and product businesses, especially in NORAM, which accounts for 38 per cent of its operations.
