+ Add to Compare Claim This CompanyOverview
Groupe Office Automation (GOA), based in Paris and backed by Amethis Europe Expansion since 2022, distributes office equipment, IT hardware and digital software to small and medium-sized businesses and mid-caps in France and abroad, with revenue of nearly EUR 60 million after its Bluemega acquisition.
It is on this site because it acquired Five Nines in 2026, a managed cybersecurity and SOC specialist with about EUR 6 million in revenue and 16 employees in France and Morocco, its third acquisition after PG Software Europe and Bluemega, to add managed cybersecurity to its digital offering.
