Mainland Europe's largest reseller has set its sights on becoming a "top 10 IT solutions provider in the UK", UK managing director James Napp said in November 2022 as Bechtle announced its acquisition of Northampton-based MSP ACS (ranked 158th in VAR 300). With revenues of £27m ACS will "perfectly complement" Bechtle's existing, e-commerce-focused UK business, which saw revenues hike by 39 per cent to £93.6m in calendar 2021. Globally, Germany-based Bechtle turned over €5.3bn in 2021.
