All IT companies belonging to the Axians Switzerland network will now operate jointly under the Axians brand. VINCI Energies acquired the Fernao Group in 2024 and integrated it into the Axians network, the ICT brand of VINCI Energies. The growth of the Axians ecosystem is now also reflected in the uniform brand identity under the Axians brand and the renaming of the companies to Axians Somnitec AG, Axians BNC AG and Axians 1stQuad AG. This makes what already works perfectly visible and noticeable to the outside world. The joint market presence under the Axians brand underlines the comprehensive range of services offered by the full-service IT provider in Switzerland.
Axians has been known in Switzerland for years as a high-quality partner for the construction of fibre optic networks and mobile communications infrastructures. At the same time, Axians also offers comprehensive IT solutions that support companies in their digitalisation efforts. With the successful integration of the Fernao Group, Axians Switzerland is further strengthening this IT solution area and expanding its position as a leading provider of integrated ICT services. Axians is the ICT brand of VINCI Energies and employs around 16,600 people worldwide, including over 1,100 in Switzerland.
A 360° full-service provider with high performance
The addition of the Fernao Group and Axians Amanox, which have been part of the Axians network since 2023, with over 200 IT specialists, allows Axians to operate in Switzerland with unprecedented performance and expertise. Güven Zorba, Head of IT and Managed Services at Axians in Switzerland: “Thanks to Fernao and Amanox, we have become a full-service IT provider with a nationwide network of specialised companies that can comprehensively cover all IT needs from a single source.” Axians’ IT offering includes consulting, implementation and operation for companies in the areas of critical infrastructure, industrial production, energy and utility providers, and regulated companies such as banks and insurance companies. Its areas of IT expertise are cloud data centre solutions, network technologies, digital workspace, cyber security, business applications and artificial intelligence. These are complemented by the telecommunications infrastructure sector, making Axians a 360° ICT provider in Switzerland.
Proximity to customers remains
“It is the next logical step for us” says Vanja Rohr, Head of Cloud & Managed Services at Axians, “that our market presence reflects our internal collaboration. As a joint brand, Axians seamlessly integrates infrastructure, applications, security, data and consulting into comprehensive solutions for our customers in the IT sector.” The uniform presence will allow market opportunities and synergies to be fully exploited, thereby achieving sustainable growth. Local customer proximity within the Switzerland-wide network will remain an important component and will continue to shape cooperation with customers. Güven Zorba has a clear vision for the IT sector of the Axians brand: “We support companies, organisations and public institutions in taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the digital era. In doing so, we put people at the centre and offer intelligent solutions and first-class service.”
