The existing Westcoast companies in Germany and the Netherlands, however, will remain in the possession of Westcoast boss Joe Hemani.
Westcoast was founded in 1983 and, according to a press release, generated sales of GBP 4.2 billion in 2023. The transaction is still subject to the usual regulatory approvals. It is an important milestone for Also.
According to the statement, Also and Westcoast are already working together and offer Westcoast's end customers access to the cloud via the Also Cloud Marketplace. "This next stage opens up excellent opportunities for us to scale our business and benefit from the expertise of the UK team," Also CEO Gustavo Möller-Hergt is quoted as saying.
