What began in the 1950s as Büro Wickart with a stationery and typewriter business developed over the decades into one of the most respected IT companies in Switzerland.
Josef Wickart recognized early on the importance of technological developments in everyday office life. With professional expertise, high service quality and a spirit of innovation, he steadily expanded the company and adapted the range of services to the growing demands of customers.
In 1969, the company was transformed into Josef Wickart Büromaschinenorganisation AG – a milestone that marked the change from classic stationery to office organization, office technology and IT services.
With increasing digitalization, the company continued to develop and established itself as a reliable partner for IT solutions and business software. Today, it is one of the leading providers in the industry and stands for quality, competence and future-oriented digitalization solutions.
Andreas Kleeb, founder and owner of today's beelk group, built the group from scratch and had a significant influence on it. His professional career began as a working student at the Wickart office in Zug, where he demonstrated his talent for IT and entrepreneurship at an early stage.
Parallel to his studies in business informatics, he took on responsibility for setting up what was then known as the IT department in the Wickart office. While IT (electronic data processing) was the technological standard at the time, today we speak of information technology (IT) - a change that Andreas Kleeb was actively involved in shaping.
Under his leadership, Büro Wickart increasingly shifted its focus to IT and office technology, laying the foundation for later success in the IT industry. The date Andreas Kleeb joined the company is now considered a milestone and serves as the starting point for our 40-year success story in IT.
This step marked the beginning of a dynamic corporate development – and is the foundation for the 40th anniversary of the beelk group, which we are celebrating today.
Andreas Kleeb recognized the potential of IT early on and focused his attention on this area at Büro Wickart. Under his leadership, the IT department was expanded, transforming the company from a typewriter business into a modern IT service provider.
This change led to Andreas Kleeb becoming involved in the company and to the founding of Wickart, Kleeb + Partner. Initially, the focus was on trading in PCs, but the development of customized software solutions quickly followed. An analysis software for the Basel chemical company was particularly successful, as it was an early adopter of the trend toward data-driven corporate management.
With the increasing demand for integrated IT solutions, the company expanded its portfolio to include accounting solutions and order processing software for SMEs. Wickart, Kleeb + Partner thus developed from a hardware provider into a holistic IT service provider that supported companies not only with technology, but also with strategic advice and support.
In 1990, Wickart, Kleeb + Partner AG started developing SPOC® (Single Point of Contact) set new standards in the IT service sector. This brand-protected concept was a milestone and was aimed specifically at large customers, covering the entire lifecycle of IT infrastructures - from procurement to installation and operation to professional disposal.
A key innovation was to clearly separate the trade in goods from the services provided - a pioneering approach at the time that increased transparency and efficiency in IT support. This concept convinced well-known customers such as Landis & Gyr, Siemens Building Technologies, ABB and many others.
The groundbreaking SPOC®The solution significantly accelerated the company's growth and established Wickart, Kleeb + Partner AG as a leading provider in the IT services sector. In 1996, the company was awarded the Canton of Zug's Innovation Prize for this innovation - a confirmation of its forward-looking strategy and innovative strength.
1998 – Andreas Kleeb founded beelk Holding AG to create an overarching structure and unite various companies under one roof. The aim is to bundle other business activities in addition to redIT and to make targeted use of synergies.
The holding structure has created a foundation that makes it possible to develop new business areas and integrate innovative companies into the group. In addition to the further development of redIT, further strategic activities are also planned to open up new markets and technologies.
The beelk group sees itself as a dynamic group of companies that is growing beyond the classic IT sector and is continuously adapting to the changing requirements of the market. The focus of the strategy is on entrepreneurial flexibility, digitalization and sustainable growth.
In 1999, the beelk group took over a small real estate company with a commercial property that had long served as the company location for redIT's services and logistics. The company was renamed Ivira AG in 2008.
This takeover laid the foundation for numerous real estate projects and targeted real estate development in central Switzerland. As a regionally anchored company, Ivira AG now has a profitable real estate portfolio and offers its customers tailor-made solutions for the planning, implementation and management of real estate projects.
With a clear focus on quality, efficiency and sustainability, Ivira AG has established itself as a reliable partner in the real estate industry. It supports people and companies in the implementation of their residential and commercial projects and actively contributes to the economic development of the region.
Today's redIT was created in 2001 from continuous development in order to meet the increasing demands on IT services. Through the acquisition and integration of several IT companies, the range of services was expanded in a targeted manner, with the focus on innovative, customized solutions for companies.
Over the years, redIT has established itself as one of the leading IT service providers in Zug, specializing in IT infrastructure, managed services and cloud solutions. As an integral part of the beelk group, the company now stands for reliability, innovation and customer proximity.
As the company structure grew, the need for an overarching brand strategy arose. redIT, whose name is derived from the red of the Swiss flag and the IT focus, will in future be transferred to a new brand identity without any direct personal reference. This development is intended to ensure a uniform, future-oriented positioning of the entire group.
redIT has expanded its presence in the canton of Aargau by opening another location in Aarau. The modern location offers ideal conditions for efficient collaboration and is an important step in the company's strategic expansion.
The branch was created by taking over selected IT activities from T-Systems Switzerland and particularly strengthens the competencies in the areas of storage systems, high-availability solutions, virtualization and IT management. With this step, the beelk group is expanding its service portfolio and offering companies comprehensive solutions for optimizing their IT infrastructure.
Thanks to the increased regional presence, companies in the canton of Aargau benefit from even better support, fast response times and a wide range of future-oriented IT services.
With the move into the historic half-timbered house in the hamlet of Inwil in the municipality Baar The beelk group marked a milestone in its development. This location represents the successful combination of tradition and innovation – two values that have always characterized the company.
In 2008, the unique opportunity arose to take over the more than 500-year-old timber-framed house. This building, which has breathed history for centuries, proved to be the ideal headquarters for the beelk group. Not only did it provide space for modern and inspiring work spaces, but it also created an environment that impressively underlines the company's regional roots.
From the beginning, the Riegelhaus served not only as a company headquarters, but also as a home for various commercial tenants. This versatile use brought life to the historic building and promoted exchange between different industries and business areas.
With this location, the beelk group consciously opted for sustainable development that preserves the company's tradition while meeting the requirements of a modern company. The result is a unique working environment that combines innovation with history and reflects the identity of the beelk group in a special way.
From logistics center to versatile company location: The development of the Oberrüti location of the beelk group - In 2008, the beelk group had the opportunity to take over a company in the retail environment as part of a succession solution. While the operational business activities of this company were resold in the meantime, the associated property proved to be an ideal location for the logistical and service-oriented requirements of the beelk group.
Initially, the site served primarily as a warehouse, logistics and service center. However, with the continuous development of the group of companies, the Oberrüti site became increasingly important. From 2015 onwards, it increasingly became a central hub for redIT's services. This required not only the expansion of the existing infrastructure, but also the targeted expansion of office space in order to meet the new requirements.
What once began as a pure logistics and processing center for specialized areas in IT has long since developed into a versatile location for the beelk group. Today, Oberrüti not only forms the logistical backbone of the company, but is also an important office location for various business areas. With this constant development, the beelk group has positioned itself optimally not only spatially, but also strategically, to meet the requirements of a modern and dynamic market.
The merger of beelk Services AG, Kinetic AG and redIT Services AG marked a decisive step in the development of today's redIT. The merger of these three companies not only bundled competencies, but also created a strong foundation for the future. This step made it possible to combine the broad expertise from the areas of IT services, infrastructure, digital solutions, printing and business solutions and thus offer an even more powerful service portfolio.
At a time when companies are increasingly looking for holistic, seamlessly integrated IT solutions, this merger proved to be strategically groundbreaking. More and more customers want to cover their IT needs from a single source and rely on a central partner who covers all requirements - from infrastructure to specialized business solutions - reliably and efficiently. This is exactly where redIT comes in: With the combined expertise of the three companies, a comprehensive range of services can now be provided that is individually tailored to the needs of the customers.
Since the merger, redIT has followed a clear, consistent path and offers customized IT services that combine the latest technology with many years of experience. The merger has not only increased flexibility and efficiency in solution development, but has also consolidated redIT's market position as a leading IT service provider.
With this strategic realignment, redIT is optimally positioned for the future – as a strong partner for companies that want to rely on innovative, reliable IT support provided from a single source.
Since 2022 Baar no longer just one of the beelk group's locations, but functions as the company's new headquarters. With the establishment of additional teams, the location quickly developed into a central hub for the entire group. Strategic decisions are made here, innovations are driven forward and overarching company processes are managed.
The dynamic development of redIT made this step necessary. The previous location on Chollerstrasse was increasingly no longer meeting the requirements of the growing service portfolio. In order to optimally serve the various business areas of the beelk group, a gradual, department-by-department relocation was initiated from 2022.
While the logistics-related business areas and goods-related services were relocated to the Oberrüti site, the cloud services and the central shared services of the group were located in Baar a new home. This targeted location strategy enabled the respective departments to be located in an environment that is perfectly tailored to their individual needs.
With Baar As its headquarters, the beelk group is now even more efficiently positioned: the location not only offers modern working environments, but also functions as an innovation center that drives the development of new services and solutions. The company thus underlines its claim to offer its customers future-oriented and efficient IT and business solutions from a single source.
green4 ag was founded with a clear mission: to develop innovative and future-oriented solutions in the field of renewable energies and sustainable technologies. The company relies on intelligent concepts that offer both ecological and economic advantages. The focus is on the development and implementation of technologies that enable the efficient use of renewable energies and help companies achieve their environmental and sustainability goals.
The idea to found green4 ag arose from redIT's activities in the field of building information technology. It quickly became clear that the potential in this area went far beyond individual projects. In order to do justice to this development, it was decided to bundle the expertise in an independent company. The targeted focus on sustainable energy solutions within a specialized organization is a key success factor and enables even greater innovative power.
With a holistic approach, green4 ag is actively contributing to driving the transition to a climate-friendly energy supply. Companies benefit from tailor-made solutions that help them operate sustainably while optimizing their energy costs.
The beelk group is celebrating its 40th anniversary! Since its foundation in 1985, the company has developed steadily - from the first IT services to a leading provider in the areas of IT, business solutions and real estate. But the roots go back even further: the first foundations were laid in 1951, before the course for the future was set with the entry into IT.
Today, the beelk group is backed by strong companies: redIT, Ivira, Jetag and green4, which continue to drive success with their innovative strength and know-how. Through mergers, new locations and forward-looking decisions, the group has been able to constantly adapt to new market requirements and ensure sustainable growth.
