Steliau Technology completes acquisition of Acal BFi Group, strengthening its European electronics solutions offering

Rungis, France – 4 November 2026

Steliau Technology today announces the completion of its acquisition of the Acal BFi Group, which includes the Acal BFi business, Impulse Embedded and Arcobel Embedded Solutions. Acal BFi is a leading pan-European value-added electronics solutions provider, combining specialist technologies with engineering expertise, design-in support and tailored system solutions.

The transaction is a major step in Steliau Technology’s European growth strategy. The combined Group will have revenues approaching €1 billion and a broader geographical presence, technology portfolio and range of engineering and integration capabilities.

Complementary businesses and specialist expertise

Headquartered in the United Kingdom, Acal BFi supports OEMs across Europe through specialist technology business units including power supplies, magnetics, wireless connectivity, sensors, photonics, imaging and embedded computing. More than 150 field engineers and eight Technology Centres support customers with design challenges in industrial, medical, defence, transportation and other advanced technology markets.

Impulse Embedded adds expertise in industrial computing, system design, build and configuration, while Arcobel Embedded Solutions brings industrial PCs, networking technologies and customised embedded hardware. Both businesses extend the Group’s embedded computing capabilities and its ability to deliver application-specific solutions.

Steliau Technology and Acal BFi share an engineering-led approach based on early engagement with customers’ development teams, close supplier partnerships and local technical support. The combination will extend access to specialist technologies and resources across the UK and mainland Europe.

An expanded solutions-led business model

Beyond increasing its scale and market coverage, the acquisition enables the expanded Steliau Technology Group to address a broader share of customers’ design and development programmes, where several technologies are required within a customers application. This creates an opportunity to extend the Group’s value-added business model towards more comprehensive, application-specific solutions. For OEM customers, the combination offers a more coordinated approach to complex technical requirements. For manufacturing partners, it creates additional opportunities to reach new customers and applications through the Group’s expanded European network.

A shared ambition for European growth

Paul Webster, Chief Executive Officer, Acal BFi Group, said: “The completion of this transaction marks the next phase of growth for Acal BFi across the UK and Europe. Our business is built on specialist technical expertise and finding the right solutions to our customers’ design challenges. The capabilities of our technology business units, together with Impulse Embedded and Arcobel Embedded Solutions, complement those of Steliau Technology. This provides an opportunity to broaden our offering to customers and strengthen the support we provide to our supplier partners across Europe.”

Commenting on the transaction, Pascal Reynoud, CEO of Steliau Technology, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Acal BFi to Steliau Technology. This combination is not only a defining milestone for our Group; it also brings together two teams with highly complementary expertise, driven by the same entrepreneurial spirit and the same commitment to supporting customers through technical excellence and close partnerships. Together, we have a unique opportunity to build Europe’s leading platform for the value-added distribution of electronic solutions, while preserving the agility, passion and customer intimacy that have made both our companies successful.”

The transaction supports Steliau Technology’s growth strategy, combining organic development with acquisitions. Since Astorg became a shareholder in 2024, Steliau Technology has accelerated its expansion across Europe, completing 16 acquisitions.
