The UK logged “particularly strong” growth for Bechtle in Q3 as its CEO said mainland Europe’s largest reseller has banished its “most difficult period”.
The Neckarsulm-based outfit’s performance has improved steadily throughout 2025.
In Q3, its top line vaulted 8.4% year on year to €2.05bn (following 5.1% growth in Q2 and 0.8% growth in Q1).
Earnings before taxes advanced 2.4% to €80.5m during the latest quarter.
Bechtle saw “particularly strong growth in business volume” in the Benelux, Spain and the UK.
Softer markets such as France, Germany and Switzerland also showed “positive developments”.
“Looking at the individual quarters of the 2025 financial year, a clear upward trajectory emerges,” stated Bechtle CEO Dr Thomas Olemotz.
“We have overcome the most difficult period and are firmly back on the path to growth.”
The rising positivity marks a clear break from the lugubrious language employed by Olemotz last year, when he lamented the “continuing reluctance to invest” among its customers.
In a busy few months, Bechtle has unveiled a new CEO-in-waiting, had its science-based net zero target approved and made acquisitions in Italy and the Netherlands.
It now employs 16,300 people in 14 European countries.
