Heliaq is a French infrastructure and managed-services group, spun out from Koesio and operating as an independent brand since spring 2025. It gives Ile-de-France enterprise and local-government clients secure IT infrastructure design and deployment, aligned around the Dell Technologies and Fortinet vendor ecosystems.
The company announced its acquisition of Kaistos, a Dell and Fortinet partner with roughly EUR 2 million in revenue, on February 26, 2026. It is Heliaq’s fourth acquisition within its first year as an independent brand, a deliberate and rapid regional-consolidation strategy built on small, consistent tuck-in deals rather than large transformative ones.
