Woerden/Harderwijk, September 1, 2026
As of September 1, 2026, ekz benelux is acquiring the activities of Dialoc ID Products. Under the name Dialoc ID Library the sales and service activities will be continued. In the background, two experienced parties are joining forces, creating a global player in the field of self-service solutions, RFID, security, and smart technology for libraries, universities, and colleges.
Over nearly forty years, Dialoc ID Library has built a strong international position with its own products for libraries. Dialoc ID products are sold and installed worldwide through an international dealer network. ekz benelux is the leading supplier for libraries, colleges, and universities in the Netherlands and Belgium, offering a wide range of RFID, self-service, detection, software, and analysis solutions.
Through the acquisition, the activities of both companies are brought together. For customers and dealers, this means a significantly broader product portfolio, greater innovative capacity, and access to additional solutions that can be deployed immediately within existing library environments.
With the acquisition, Dialoc ID dealers gain immediate access to additional products and solutions from ekz benelux. Examples include intelligent bookshelves, the ekz Detection Antenna PGX, the iTrack Cloud solution, payment functionality at the self-service counter (in Europe), and visitor counters. This enables dealers worldwide to offer their customers a more complete package in the areas of self-service, security, statistics, monitoring, and ease of use.
“The activities of Dialoc ID Library align perfectly with the expertise and ambitions of ekz benelux,” says Marc de Lange, Managing Director of ekz benelux. “Dialoc ID possesses a strong international dealer network and a proven product portfolio. ekz benelux adds complementary technology, software, and product development. Together, we can support libraries, universities, and colleges worldwide even better.” John de Witte, International Sales Director at Dialoc ID Library, adds: “For us as a renowned supplier and manufacturer of EM, hybrid, and RFID solutions, the acquisition by ekz benelux is a very logical choice by the shareholders. This will allow us to take major steps regarding the development of new products and the improvement of existing ones.”
For existing customers and dealers, continuity remains paramount. In the coming period, ekz benelux will work closely with Dialoc ID and the international dealer network to ensure a smooth transition and to maximize the commercial opportunities of the combined portfolio.
