29 janvier 2026Par LA REDACTION DE GS MAG

Bechtle AG is acquiring the Portuguese IT systems integrator RIS 2048 - Sistemas Informáticos e Comunicações, S.A. (RIS), headquartered in Aveiro with additional locations in Lisbon and Porto. Founded in 2000, the company will continue to operate within the Bechtle Group under the RIS and Evoware brands, enhancing Bechtle direct’s existing portfolio in Portugal with IT consulting and services. RIS and Evoware currently employ 165 people, primarily serving enterprise and mid‑market customers, and generated revenue in excess of 50 million euros in 2025. Co-founders and former majority shareholders Luís Catalão, who heads up RIS 2048, and Nuno Silva, Managing Director of Evoware, will continue to lead the business. The sale to Bechtle aims to accelerate growth within a large European organisation. With the deal, Bechtle is further advancing its European acquisition strategy while expanding its portfolio in Portugal and strengthening synergies with its companies in Portugal and Spain, where the group now employs more than 1,000 people.

RIS and Evoware have built a strong market position in Portugal over the past 25 years. Evoware specialises in consulting services for enterprise customers, cloud solutions and the delivery of data centre projects, and is recognised as an HPE GreenLake expert. As an IT systems integrator, RIS primarily serves mid‑market customers with a comprehensive portfolio of products and services. Together, the two companies are an ideal addition to Bechtle direct’s previously commerce‑focused portfolio in Portugal.

Strong market position in Portugal and Spain

With this acquisition, the Bechtle Group is now represented across the Iberian Peninsula with three brands in Portugal—Bechtle, Evoware and RIS—and four brands in Spain—Bechtle, Grupo Solutia, iDoo and Prosol—covering all major economic regions.
