4 November 2025, Auckland, New Zealand. Australasian systems integrator Fusion5 has announced the acquisition of Kordia’s managed IT business. The deal sees Fusion5 acquire Kordia’s IT professional services and procurement capabilities.
Kordia is New Zealand’s leading technology and critical communications provider with services in maritime, media, critical communications infrastructure, cyber, connectivity, and cloud. The acquisition will see Kordia’s team of 26 managed IT experts join Fusion5 at its Auckland offices.
Kordia Group CEO Neil Livingston says it’s a win-win for both organisations – and their customers. "Managed IT customers will benefit from Fusion5’s passion for, and long-term growth ambitions in this area. We’re committed to our core capabilities as a provider of cyber security and critical communications, and the sale will enable Kordia to focus on opportunities in this space.”
“Kordia and Fusion5 have a tightly aligned approach to managed IT,” says Kristy Brown, Fusion5 CEO – New Zealand.
We’re both focused on delivering high-quality, value-added services to our customers and ensuring great outcomes. But, as importantly, our cultures are very synergistic – we genuinely care for our people, which helps ensure a successful transition.”
Brown says Fusion5 has been strategically building out its managed IT services business for some time, starting with the 2023 acquisition of Vigilant IT in Australia, and in 2024, the purchase of GoCloud Systems in Wellington. “However,” she says, “the acquisition of Kordia’s managed IT practice will enable us to really scale and reimagine our managed IT services offerings locally – while also ensuring our customers can enjoy extended business support hours and services through leveraging our New Zealand and Australian presence.”
