Steliau Technology finalises the acquisition of the Acal BFi group and strengthens its European offering electronic solutions.
Rungis, November 11, 2026,
Steliau Technology today announced the completion of its acquisition of the Acal BFi Group, which brings together the businesses of Acal BFi, Impulse Embedded, and Arcobel Embedded Solutions. Acal BFi is a leading pan-European provider of value-added electronic solutions, combining specialised technologies, engineering expertise, design-in support, and customised system solutions.
This transaction represents a major step in Steliau Technology’s European growth strategy. The new entity will have revenues close to €1 billion and will benefit from an expanded geographic footprint, a broader technology portfolio, and enhanced engineering and integration capabilities.
Complementary activities and specialised expertise.
Based in the UK, Acal BFi supports industries across Europe with a range of technological expertise, including power supplies, magnetic components, wireless connectivity, sensors, display solutions, and embedded systems. More than 150 field engineers and eight technology centers assist customers with their design challenges in the industrial, medical, defense, transportation, and other high-tech sectors.
Impulse Embedded brings its expertise in industrial computing as well as in the design, assembly, and configuration of systems, while Arcobel Embedded Solutions complements the offering with industrial PCs, network technologies, and custom embedded hardware. These two companies strengthen the Group’s capabilities in embedded systems and its ability to provide solutions tailored to each application.
Steliau Technology and Acal BFi share a common engineering culture, based on early involvement with the development teams of their various clients, close partnerships with suppliers, and local technical support. This merger will broaden access to specialised technologies and resources in the UK and continental Europe.
A broader, solutions-focused business model.
Beyond increased market coverage, this acquisition allows the Steliau Technology Group to strengthen its presence and expertise during the design and development phases for its clients, particularly when multiple technologies are required within a single application. The Group thus has the opportunity to extend its value-added business model to more comprehensive and project-specific solutions.
For customers, this new package offers a more coordinated approach to complex technical requirements. For manufacturing partners, it also creates additional opportunities to target new customers and markets through the Group’s extensive European network.
A shared ambition for growth in Europe.
Paul Webster, CEO of the Acal BFi Group, stated : “The completion of this transaction marks a new phase of growth for Acal BFi in the UK and Europe. Our business is built on cutting-edge technical expertise and our ability to find solutions tailored to our customers’ design challenges. The capabilities of our technology business units, combined with those of Impulse Embedded and Arcobel Embedded Solutions, complement those of Steliau Technology. This allows us to expand our offering to customers and strengthen the support we provide to our supplier partners in Europe.”
Regarding this transaction, Pascal Reynoud, CEO of Steliau Technology, stated: “We are delighted to welcome Acal BFi to Steliau Technology. This merger is not only a pivotal step for our Group, but it also unites two teams with highly complementary expertise, driven by the same entrepreneurial spirit and the same commitment to supporting clients through close partnerships and outstanding technical mastery. Together, we have a unique opportunity to build the leading European platform for the value-added distribution of electronic solutions, while preserving the agility, passion, and customer focus that have made both our companies successful.”
This operation is part of Steliau Technology’s growth strategy, which combines organic development and acquisitions. Since Astorg acquired a stake in 2024, Steliau Technology has accelerated its expansion in Europe, with 16 acquisitions completed.
