About

Neklan is a French company specializing in IT connectivity solutions, focusing on the manufacture and wholesale distribution of a wide range of network and audiovisual products. Neklan was founded in 2008 in France and is dedicated to the manufacture, import, and wholesale distribution of IT connectivity solutions. The company has maintained a consistent business strategy focused on IT infrastructure without significant pivots or changes. As of now, there are no known subsidiaries or parent companies.


The founder's history is not available, but the company has had one deal recorded, most recently on January 9, 2025. Neklan specializes in the manufacture, import, and wholesale distribution of IT connectivity solutions and accessories. Their core product offerings include network cables, fiber optic cables, electrical systems, video surveillance equipment, and audiovisual integration tools, along with accessory solutions tailored for data centers and local networks. The company has developed an intuitive configurator tool, NEKLAN4U, which allows users to easily design their server racks and enclosures, ensuring quick and personalized setups.


Targeted towards businesses and organizations requiring reliable IT infrastructure, Neklan serves a diverse customer base that includes over 5,000 clients across various sectors throughout France and other European markets. The company’s commitment to innovation since its inception in 2008 has paved the way for a dynamic product range that meets the growing demands of the technology landscape. Neklan operates primarily through a B2B distribution model, providing a comprehensive suite of products to various retailers, wholesalers, and direct clients. The revenue generation structure includes sales from individual products as well as bulk orders, particularly focusing on electrical and connectivity solutions.


Pricing strategies include public pricing for flagship products, such as the NEKLAN configurator tool and various cable systems, with specific prices for items like network cables and fiber optics reflecting their market positioning. For instance, public prices can range from EUR 6. 79 for basic components to over EUR 224 for advanced configurations. Transactions are typically processed through secured payment systems, with additional incentives such as promotional discounts to encourage bulk purchases, ultimately facilitating a robust revenue stream within the competitive IT solutions market.


In January 2025, Groupe Telenco, a portfolio company of Apheon, acquired a majority stake in Neklan. The acquisition will allow Groupe Telenco to enhance its offerings and strengthen its market presence, while Neklan will broaden its technological capabilities and resources. Looking ahead, Neklan plans to launch new products focused on enhanced connectivity solutions, although specific launch dates have not been disclosed. The company is also targeting expansion into new geographic regions, aiming to penetrate markets beyond France into other European countries by the end of 2025.
