JSE-listed Reunert Group has merged its subsidiaries IQbusiness and +OneX a business and technology services “digital integrator” under a united refreshed iqbusiness brand, introducing a new tech design, build and operate division and an innovation agency.

Iqbusiness, the digital integrator within the Reunert ICT segment led by CEO Adam Craker, brings together nearly 1 500 team members across its consumer insights, consulting, technology and managed services capabilities covering local, African and international markets.

"I am incredibly excited and honoured to lead this new chapter in advancing our home-grown business and technology services provider, from right here in South Africa to the world. This merger is more than just a strategic move—it is the realisation of a bold vision to create a powerhouse that will redefine the landscape of our sector. I truly believe that we are building something exceptional, a business that will serve our clients with unparalleled expertise from our team members and also set new benchmarks in innovation, client service and impact,” said Craker.

A new division,“iqx”, emphasises the technology capabilities in the merger and the “midnight” agency brings focus to client innovation and digital ecosystems.

The merger brings together two world-class teams, combining decades of leadership, industry insight and passion with offerings centred on enabling value for clients to win in the digital economy.

The merged entity, which holds a Level 1 B-BBEE certification, combines leadership teams, with Rob Godlonton and René Bredenkamp from +OneX now as iqbusiness solutions services group managing partner and iqbusiness CFO, respectively.

Integration of the broader leadership team ensures the merger has streamlined the client and market-facing activities to provide a seamless experience for clients.

“This merger marks a significant milestone for both businesses, creating enhanced career paths for our teams and positioning us to compete globally for top talent, whilst ensuring that we deliver end-to-end business and technology solutions to our clients,” Godlonton commented.

“I am proud of our achievements since forming +OneX and excited that our next chapter through iqx, midnight and the broader iqbusiness brands is about unlocking potential—within our people, for our clients, and across the markets we serve locally and internationally. With this union, we are better equipped than ever to deliver transformative solutions as a Digital Integrator that will make a meaningful difference.”

“This merger to create our Digital Integrator, is a key pillar of Reunert’s strategic growth initiatives within the ICT segment. Alongside Nashua, Skywire, ECN and Quince, the launch of iqbusiness, augmented by iqx and midnight, create synergies that enable us to advance our business solutions, both locally and internationally,” added Reunert ICT Segment CEO Graeme Eddey.

“The shared commitment to excellence and deep expertise will continue to set the merged teams of iqbusiness apart in the delivery of client and shareholder value across the global economy.”
