Our evolution
The early years
In 1981, Dirk Reubens and André Van der Auwera founded PHI DATA. In the early years, they focused primarily on the market for specialised (barcode) peripheral equipment and related services.
Shifting focus
In 1996, the focus shifted from product sales to a more project-based approach. This has seen PHI DATA evolve from a hardware distributor to a systems integrator in recent decades. In the same period, they developed their ambition to offer tailored work and later, packaged software developments.
Simac integrates PHI DATA into its offering
Technology company Simac has acquired a majority stake in Belgian ICT company PHI DATA. The company will be added to the Simac group but will continue to operate independently to provide Smart Edge solutions to improve business processes. The acquisition sees Simac grow its market share in Belgium and Luxembourg. It also opens up the market in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic for the advanced PHI DATA technology.
PHI DATA enters Dutch market with Simac PHI DATA NL
Simac PHI DATA is expanding into the Netherlands. Working closely with parent company Simac, it is setting up its own Dutch organisation, Simac PHI DATA. The new entity will be led by sector specialist Akko van Wijk.
Smart Edge Integration
Today, Guy Couder is the CEO and steering force behind Simac PHI DATA. He has placed the focus on the integration of Smart Edge solutions, aimed squarely at the point where ICT and the physical chain intersect.
Organic growth
In the future, he will aim, on one hand, at achieving organic growth through continued investments in own Software as a Service (SaaS software) and new technologies such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). On the other hand, he will focus on further geographic expansion through takeovers or consolidations outside Belgium, allowing PHI DATA to serve an even broader market.
