ibc group brings together expertise in Germany and the Netherlands

ibc group combines consulting, data expertise, technology and implementation in one integrated offering. This gives clients easier access to the full range of expertise across the group. 

Aachen/Maastricht/Sittard, 24 August 2026. Digitalisation and artificial intelligence are changing business models, public services and the day-to-day work of many organisations. Data, technology, processes and organisational implementation need to work closely together. ibc group is therefore bringing together the expertise of its German and Dutch organisations in one integrated service offering. 

Under the claim “connecting performance”, the group combines specialist expertise, sector experience and implementation capabilities. The joint offering ranges from consulting and research to data, technology, project management, information security and organisational implementation. 

“With connecting performance, we bring together the experience and implementation capabilities of our organisations in Germany and the Netherlands,” says Eric Schlösser, Director of ibc netherlands. “Our clients can access an integrated offering that connects consulting, technology and implementation.” 

The group-wide service portfolio is structured around Data, Technology, Process and People. It includes data-driven decision-making, digital solutions, information security, process improvement, project management and organisational development. ibc group works with private companies as well as public and semi-public organisations. Key sectors include insurance and finance, the public sector and automotive. 

In Germany, ibc AG will become visible under the new market presence ibc germany. Its existing expertise in IT, project management, information security and implementation forms an important part of the group’s joint offering. Collaboration with the Dutch organisations adds further experience in data, technology, research and the public sector. The group will also continue to develop its information security and cybersecurity services across its organisations. 

“Closer collaboration within ibc group significantly broadens our offering in Germany,” says Markus Bayer, CEO and CFO of ibc AG. “We are combining our experience in IT, project management, information security and implementation with additional expertise from the Netherlands. This allows us to support our clients across a wider range of disciplines and further strengthen our information security and cybersecurity offering.” 

In the Netherlands, Etil strengthens the ibc group offering for public and semi-public organisations. The former Etil research group will continue as Etil. The company combines its research and data expertise with a stronger focus on technology, policy development and organisational implementation. The new presence at etil.nl is initially aimed at the Dutch market. 

Closer collaboration will also become visible through the group’s new digital presence. On ibc-group.com, ibc group presents its joint service portfolio for the first time. Etil is launching its new website etil.nl at the same time. The visual identity also follows the new brand structure. ibc group is introducing a shared design framework for the group brand. Etil will remain recognisable as an independent brand, with an updated design that fits within the wider group identity. 

For existing clients and partners, their trusted contacts will remain unchanged. At the same time, they will gain easier access to specialists and expertise from across the entire group. 

Across all its organisations, ibc group works with around 250 permanent employees and independent professionals. The group has locations including Aachen, Hamburg, Sittard, Heerlen, Eindhoven and Utrecht.
