Copenhagen, 9 January 2025 – “We are delighted to welcome Silta to Conscia as our gateway to the Belgian market, aligning with our strategy to position Conscia as a pan-European player.

“At Conscia Netherlands, we have looked for a way into Belgium for some time and are happy to have found a great match with Silta. They have built a rock-solid reputation in Belgium with customers in public, industry and service sectors. Our products and services complement each other effectively, and we see many opportunities for our value proposition in the Belgian market, which is characterized by a few very large organizations and many smaller players,” says Marcel Cappetti, General Manager at Conscia Netherlands.

All employees at Silta will collaborate closely with their Dutch colleagues, fostering knowledge exchange and providing customer support in the Benelux region.

“For many years, Silta has been a valued strategic IT partner for our customers in Flanders. We have been able to distinguish ourselves through our high level of knowledge of cybersecurity, managed services and cloud, and our strategic collaboration with leading technology partners. Together with Conscia, we are entering a new phase of growth for our organization, customers and employees,” says Gunter Van de Cauter, Sales Director, Silta.

Silta will continue as Conscia Belgium. The current directors of Silta, Gunter Van de Cauter and Ronnie Dibbaut, will continue to lead the organization and are the first point of contact for customers and partners in Belgium as part of the management team of the newly established Benelux organization.
