Luxembourg based Firstcom Europe announces the acquisition of the Nordic’s Unified Communications provider and hardware distributor Nortech Telecom in a strategic move to accelerate the firm’s growth across Europe. 

Located in Stockholm, Nortech was founded in 2001 and operates in the SME space across Sweden through web sales and its network of distributors selling cloud telephony, PBX solutions and handsets. 

Firstcom Europe was established in 2013 as a result of the merger of UK’s VoIP.co.uk and Denmark’s Firstcom.  In 2014 the Company then went on to acquire Germany’s Teleforte which also had a presence across Poland and Spain. 

In quarter 4 of 2015, Firstcom acquired Denmark’s Connection. This was followed by the purchase of the Germany’s , Citec in Quarter 4 2016. 

Nortech, Citec and Connection have a large base of PBX customers. Firstcom will offer these clients cloud telephony, SIP trunking, and mobile services .

Jean-Pierre Vandromme, Firstcom Europe’s Group CEO, said: “Sweden is at the forefront of the migration to cloud telephony and the acquisition of Nortech expands our footprint across the Nordics and will expedite the achievement of our goal to cover the whole of the Nordics. We aim to offer our clients a one-stop-shop solution for all their telecommunications services.”

Johan Jarskog of Nortech said: “We see huge potential in sharing products, knowledge and experience and look forward to the opportunity to offer our clients a complete solution, from hardware, SIP Trunks, to next-generation cloud-based unified communications.”
