Strengthening presence in mainland Europe
On 11 July, 2025, ASK4 announced the acquisition of mywire Datentechnik GmbH, a highly trusted German provider of managed Internet services for multi-tenant buildings. This transaction marks ASK4’s first acquisition in mainland Europe and forms part of a broader strategic programme to expand the group’s capabilities and presence across the UK and Europe.
mywire is recognised for its technical excellence, client-centric approach, and long-standing partnerships with the real estate sector and universities in Germany. As part of ASK4, mywire’s clients and their end user customers will benefit from the combined expertise, innovation roadmap, and infrastructure of a specialist provider already supporting more than 360,000 end users across the UK, Germany and 10 other European countries. Combined with ASK4’s current German portfolio, the mywire combination will take ASK4’s overall presence to over 40,000 end-customers in Germany.
For existing ASK4 clients, the acquisition strengthens the group’s European footprint and reinforces its ability to deliver consistent, high-quality service across borders. Clients with developments in Germany or plans to expand into neighbouring regions will benefit from mywire’s in-market expertise and established network. More broadly, the integration of mywire’s capabilities enhances ASK4’s capacity to deliver faster deployments, broader support, and accelerated innovation — further reinforcing ASK4’s role as a strategic partner to leading multi-tenant property owners and operators across Europe.
What this means for clients
“This acquisition brings together two highly complementary businesses with a shared commitment to delivering outstanding service. By combining ASK4’s scale and technical infrastructure with mywire’s deep local expertise, we can immediately enhance our support for clients in Germany, and the wider DACH region, and offer a stronger, more responsive service to multi-tenant building operators and residents.”Christopher Holloway, Chief Revenue Officer, ASK4
“ASK4’s acquisition of mywire strengthens our presence in a strategically important market and accelerates our ability to deliver consistent, high-quality service to clients operating across borders. This is about more than scale, it’s about building the capability to support our clients to the highest level possible.”Andrew Dutton, CEO, ASK4
“As founders of a business, it’s always a difficult decision to sell. We have thought carefully about mywire’s future and we believe ASK4 is the right long-term partner both culturally and strategically. We share a collective passion for service excellence, innovation, and putting clients first. Building our business has been an incredibly rewarding and exciting journey. Joining ASK4 will allow us to continue to offer our clients the benefits of a broader service platform and international expertise, while continuing to build upon the relationships that have always been at the heart of our businesses. We look forward to working with the team at ASK4.”Oliver Emsmann & Volker Meier Founders & Managing Directors, mywire
The mywire team, brand, and client relationships will remain in place, ensuring service continuity during the transition period, with the two businesses working closely to align best practices and explore opportunities to enhance the value they deliver for clients in Germany and neighbouring territories.
This acquisition is one of a series of strategic transactions being executed by ASK4 in 2025, reinforcing the group’s long-term commitment to building a best-in-class portfolio of connectivity and smart living solutions across Europe. Over the last two months, ASK4 announced the acquisitions of ClearFibre (UK) and Parcel SafePlace (UK).
