Unic expands strategically with the acquisition of Ludwigsburg-based digital agency Becklyn – 30 employees and three managing directors become part of Unic – New location strengthens German market position
Bern/Ludwigsburg, September 17, 2025 – International digital agency Unic is strengthening its presence in Germany through a merger with Becklyn, a design-driven tech agency from Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart. All 30 Becklyn employees will join the Unic team. Florian Schwarzbeck, Marko Puclin, and Christoph Hautzinger will remain as managing directors at Becklyn and join Unic as partners and co-owners.
The merger takes place under the Unic umbrella on September 15, 2025. All jobs, as well as the Ludwigsburg location, are preserved. With now over 300 experts at six locations in Germany, Switzerland, and Poland, Unic reinforces its position as one of the leading digital service providers in the DACH region.
A Strategic Step for Joint Growth
With this merger, Unic x Becklyn are taking a clear strategic step to expand their market presence in Germany. The new location in Ludwigsburg, alongside Munich and Karlsruhe, establishes an important hub in southern Germany, promotes regional development in the greater Stuttgart area and opens up new business fields. With their expertise in CX, design, solution engineering with headless architectures, and marketing, Becklyn actively contributes to the growth strategy. Through this expansion, the united team can respond faster to market demands and strengthens Unic's position across the entire DACH region.
"The merger with Becklyn strengthens our service portfolio and creates additional value for our customers. I am delighted to welcome our new colleagues, who will enrich Unic with their expertise and creativity"
