"Marcello is a company that has developed a solid platform built on culture, competence and customer relevance. For some time, we have been developing a common ambition, which we are now starting to realise by joining forces," says Jarl Øverby, CEO of Netnordic Group AS. He continues, "The need for increased competence and capacity in cloud services and system architecture is central to our strategy. Marcello and Netnordic are very pleased that Marcello shares the ambition and belief that together we can accelerate and become even more relevant in the market".

Netnordic has for many years delivered solutions and services in networking, cyber security, cloud and collaboration for large and medium-sized companies. With the acquisition of Marcello, Netnordic has made its twenty-second acquisition since 2015. Netnordic is owned to approximately 65% by Norvestor, while the rest is controlled by the company's employees.

"Marcello has a proud history and has developed solid experience and expertise and delivers services to socially critical customers. It was a natural step for us to become part of a larger environment so that our expertise can come into its own even more", says Gunnar Gisleberg, Chairman of the Board of Marcello AS. "Netnordic was a natural choice due to its expertise, strategy and solid history of successful acquisitions. We have a solid customer base and will thus strengthen our ability to activate our expertise with more customers."

"For the owners of Marcello, it is important and gratifying that the employees get more exciting development opportunities through a larger environment, where they can further develop their expertise and ambitions. Netnordic has had an impressive development that we look forward to strengthening both through further customer relevance and value for the shareholders that we also become a part of," concludes Gunnar Gisleberg, Chairman of the Board of Marcello AS.
